Anybody finding any Morels yet?

[Th3rty7]

We're getting hammered with rain, and it's supposed to reach mid 70's this week. I'm thinking they might start popping in a couple weeks. Anyone having any luck yet?

A morel is a wild edible mushroom. They have a unique flavor that imo tastes like a fine cut of beef. Also known as land fish, mountain oysters, merkals, hickory chickens, etc. They are a delicacy and sometimes a cash crop. Some like them sauted in butter with salt and pepper. I like to cut them in half, marinate in buttermilk, roll in flour and seasoning, and fry them till golden brown. Delicious.

I'm not sure about mountain oysters in your area, but out here mountain oysters are a fancy name for bull testicles

To early this year yet. Only found a few last year and one turned out to be a false Morel. Eat a false Morel and it's good-by.

Well, I'm glad you mentioned it.
We should have them popping up around here but I haven't run across any yet.
I was raised eating those little treats!

OMG. I love morels. It's a little early yet here but if we get several days of warm weather along with that rain we got they will be out. My little brother lives in Kansas and he finds tons of them every year. Dip them in buttermilk and roll them in flour and cracker crumbs and fry. Man I'm hungry now. And as far as mountain oysters I love them as well. There is a Testicle Festival in Olean Missouri every year that is a huge attraction. Yes you can google it.
