SHROOMS!!!
« on: May 09, 2012, 08:34 AM »
I know this is a fishing site but there is no ice and the mushrooms are popping.  Anyone having a good season?  How far North are you finding them?

 My boys and a couple of thier buddies found just over 12 lbs after baseball practice on tuesday night. Local grocery buys them for about 29$ a pound, not a bad payday for the kids.

I did the same thing last year. This year, we got quite a few Morels. They are selling for $20 lb up here!!! My wife cooked them up with some wild asparagus and served with Crappie!

Take a potato sack if you can next time you go hunting for morels. The potato sack allows for the spores to fall to the ground while the morels rustle around in the sack. Since spores are what mushrooms originate from, this  method preserves morel hunting grounds for years to come.

Sounds like me when I was a young man chasing women @) :o

Just about fell out of chair laughing at the "moral" part. I had no morals back then And thinking about it they did not either ;D ;D ;D I never let one go though ;) :o

mushrooms are morels.  Oh a good laugh was good for me.   Steve
