Mushrooms Are Coming!


Recommended Posts

To preserve for later we just roll in flour (or bread like you normally would) then put on a cookie sheet and freeze. Bag them up (vac would probably be best). Just take them out of the freezer and drop them in the oil frozen. They'll keep a year or so that way, and are still almost as good as fresh.

Found a few falsies the other day and after studying about them decided they were probably the etible kind, but the wife threw them out anyway. If you look in the books there are several kinds of false morels, some are poisonous, some are not.

Good to hear y'all are finding them. I figured they'd be up this weekend, but me and pops searched Fri/Sat/Sun all around my farm in the usual honeyholes and found not a one! Still fried up some crappie and the first asparagus of the year, so it wasnt a total loss.

This weekend should be great, good temps and rain on Friday. Used my mushroom finding GPS to get me back to a spot where I found a few last year and hit pay dirt. 12 small tender ones. Stopped by the spot from Monday and picked 4 new ones from there. They are getting dried out pretty bad from the heat or something.

Wish I had the time and place to find a load of them like Bubba.

Finding all of mine so far near a small creek on a flat with elm and poplar trees. How about everyone else? Where are they popping up at?

any advice

Just keep tryin' Most of mine are found in heavy leaf litter which makes them hard to see, you need to see that first one and then it gets easier. Ash trees have always been good to me, look for deep bark and a rather dark look to it if you don't know an ash. Any freshly dead or dying trees seem to produce mushrooms as well.
