Any mushroom gatherers

Morel season is winding down here. Most of the ones I found today were rotten or dried out. I did procure a few monster blonde keepers.



Enough for a couple meals.



What the heck are these things? They are EVERYWHERE in my woods. We only eat morels.




they looks like doughnuts

I did find two morels behind them.

 

I get tons but just not knowledgeable enough to know what's what, when to pick.

I get hen of the woods all the time. At least I am fairly confident it's hen of the woods...

Just found these this weekend, no clue what they are!

 

Went up to the high country and drove around a bit. Much cooler there. Lots of frost heaved gravel. Had a glimpse of a fair buck as he disappeared into the timber. No grouse but we killed the Chanterelles! I shred or chop the chanterelles and season with spices and onion powder. Spray a large pan with a light coat of cooking oil and dry saute the shrooms. Add a small amount of olive oil as the last of the moisture is leaving the pan. I vacuum seal portions and freeze. Made a quicky spaghetti dinner with some of the mushrooms and sausage that was great.

 

That is awesome.

 

Anybody yet? I have pictures of finding small blacks and grays on 4/12 last year. Too cold yet this year.

 

Finding some morels here, for a week or 2. Weather is back and forth, warm and cool, so I think that's slowed it down. They showed up a bit earlier than normal.

 

Im off all week.....

 

NICE!

 

Daughter found some nice ones yesterday

 

It’s been cold lately, and terrible dry forever. Not good mushroom growing conditions. But we’ve had some rain this past week so I remain hopeful. Did a little looking yesterday but no luck. This is very marginal county for morels anyway, but I keep hoping and looking.

 

Anybody ever try to spread/encourage morel growth like this -

How to Make Morel Slurry

 

I always dump the water I clean them in and keep tabs.

 

Today's take. Daughter found about as many.
