Morels?

[cyclone101]

I'll agree that it's hard to beat a good steak, but morel mushrooms are a delicacy that only appear in the wild for a few weeks each year. Then they're gone. And they're not exactly easy to find, either. This is the only time you'll get to find them and eat them fresh for the whole year. And they are delicious when fried. Fresh crappie + morel mushrooms + cold beer = close to Heaven.

I wouldn't pay $50/lb myself, but a pound of mushrooms is actually quite a bit and there are people that will pay it.

Careful with the beer + morels. Might end up spending a day in the restroom.

We went for 4 hours yesterday in southeast Iowa. Some of our best spots need another week or two. We found just enough to sample them. All greys, no yellows

People are lazy and they aren't sold in grocery stores.

Or live in an are that they do not grow. I buy them from co-workers for $20 a pound. I have spent more time and gas money in the past than that. I do miss hunting them however.

It's worth it. :twitcy:

Right, but a piece of that cow tastes wayyyy better than a mushroom.

To each their own, but there's not any food anywhere that I'd pay $50/lb for.

Disagree. Breaded and fried morels are better than steak.

My favorite spring meal is fresh crappie and morels. Cooked differently.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen you here before!

My kids texted that they are coming home with fish and morels for dinner, and have promised they are cleaning the fish themselves. Better be. Doubt they got crappie in the pond they were going to though.:sad:

Any morels around Ankeny yet? Or has it passed?

Might still be able to find some yellow's but they are close to being done if not done for the year.

Found a ton last weekend near Churchtown. This guy was the prize.

I found these in the corner of my yard in Ankeny a little over a week ago (Monday, May 2nd)...

I have tiny, child-sized hands.

Went turkey hunting last week around Dubuque. Found enough both greys and yellows for a couple meals with my folks. Not enough to bring home though.:sad:

 

[carvers4math]

Boys found some yellows still in southern Iowa at a kid's grad party Sunday so guessing there might still be a few near Ankeny.

Anyone finding them yet? We found a few grays in southern Iowa yesterday. Probably need at least another week for yellows?
