Headed to the woods now with a net sack, two feral children, a beautiful wife and too much camera equipment!

I usually chop down one or two, hard to find bags big enough.

Snow forecast here for tomorrow. Frown.
The past week was shaping up nice....
Have fun out there pickers!

I find it's easy to grow them. Just chip up a bunch on Douglas-fir branches when green, add some charcoal, spray with Morchella angusticeps slurry (dried mixed with a quart of water) and spread out on the bed. Each spore will produce a bunch of mycelium, and there should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 million spores present in that quart.

Shenandoah Valley of Virginia "LEGEND" of "Murtels" as we called 'em... know where to look; dark, loamy soil, in the mountains. Walking by, nothing found... THEN! Looking back, THERE they ARE... MAGIC! Mountain "little ppl" do it! Heh...
HAPPY EATING!

For some reason, that made me nostalgic for a place and times I don't know. Maybe it's the red clay here...

HA! Red Clay is FAMOUS for NOTHING! Had too much of it in my CONSTRUCTION WORK days, before going to BRCC/JMU. Gotta get to mountains/woods... look under various trees; dark, loamy soil (GREAT for fishing worms, too!). Met MANY Ginseng gatherers of the mountains, who gave me their "stash" of Murtels, if I didn't turn 'em in (cousin was a DEPUTY... HA!).

What the hell.... We here wouldn't even think of that as worthy.... Around here I load up the log chain, small 18' bar chainsaw, fire up 500 cc ATV then drag a few home. I have a freezer for this sole purpose. Are you kidding me...?? It takes DAYS for my wife and I to process the 4-5 I drag home in the spring. Give me a break buddy....

I'll wake up soon....
