If the Shroomers find out about your morel patch you can kiss those babies goodbye! lol Was this the first time you had morels in your garden? As for keeping a few chickens, a cow, some goats and a sheep or two, I'm with you on that brither! :-) A very informative shroom posting, thank you, Gabi. Ha!

And this is a field where one should not be take any risks - there are many "impersonator" mushrooms that look very close to the real one to turn out they are at best just bad tasting if not outright poisonous. thanks for the post! Gabi. Christy,

You definitely NEED to know what you are hunting for. And this is a field where one should not be take any risks – there are many “impersonator” mushrooms that look very close to the real one to turn out they are at best just bad tasting if not outright poisonous.

thanks for the post!

I love morels. The only place I can "hunt" them is at the farmer's market around April or May. :-) I live in NYC where there are few or no yards. However, I was talking to someone recently who was telling me that her friend was getting into foraging for wild edibles in parks. So maybe you could hunt mushrooms here - if you know what you're looking for. Wow – so awesome that you have them in your backyard. I love morels.

Oddly enough, when I was scoping out treasures at the local thrift shop today, I saw a modern teapot from Ireland which had a morel "button pull" on the lid. Culinary synchronicity!

Was that you in the video? (we really do need smell-o-vision!) It's funny because here in Telluride, the mushroom hunters are a secret society, and they talk in code! Here's a sample of their verbage: "Remember the site X which was 30 feet from site Z, well if you turn 45 degrees from that spot, behind the second log to the left you will find a gold mine!" Enjoy!!! How lucky are you!!! Was that you in the video? (we really do need smell-o-vision!)
