Morel Mushrooms

One of God's Many Blessings

Identifying

One of God's many blessing are the morels that pop up in the spring. They usually are found under poplar, elm, ash, dogwood, apples, black walnut trees, around grape vines and roting tress and leaves. Morels are hard to see with out a trained eye. They are well camouflaged in their natural environment. Being of the fungi family they grow from spores instead of seeds that are in the plant family. They literaly do just pop up. During spring gobbler season, when you have to sit very still for your meal, it has been said that you can hear them popping. I've prepared a video to try to assist would be hunters to train their eyes for the tasty meal. We , strongly recommend, they be collected in a loosely woven netting. The one onions are transported in is perfect. This way the spores can drop and restart for next year. A dedicated hunter will respect their mushroom garden and protect it for prosperity. Once you have found enough for a meal, they should be sliced along the steams. If they are not hollowed steams, they are the fake morels and are toxic. Toss them out. When you have a bowl full of good hollow steamed morels ( refer to slide show) rinse well, sprinkle heavily with salt, cover with water and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

They can now be fried in butter, mixed in other dishes or floured and popped into a fry daddy until brown. Seasonings can be added as they cool. Yummie!!!!!
