    still not popping here, I think BC needs to get some here to me so my morel levels don't drop any lower! hehehe

    Now, how do y'all liked them prepared? We (wife and I) just halve them, roll in flour and fry in butter.

    Nice haul crick. I know it's been wet enough here. We just need some warm temps again.

    This is what my family has found in the last couple days while I'm 800 miles away. I leave Dallas on Thurs. to head home for a couple weeks of turkey hunting, fishing and hopefully find a few of these. I'm hoping with the continued rain and cool weather this week up there that I will still be able to find some.

    So I'll be honest - I've never in my life eaten a morel mushroom. Are they really THAT good?

    WORD Shed,,they are schrumptious! 2Lunger,,thats a good haul!
    Well guys Ill be honest,,we eat about 3 batches each year and the rest go to an Auction house, and people go nuts. I should be able to pay for most of my lease with mushroom money this year. I average around $50.00 for a gallon bag.

    Since they cannot be grown commercially, I'm sure that adds to the hype, but as far as I'm concerned they are the best mushroom the Good Lord put on the face of this earth! People pay $25 - $30 per pound around here for them.

    i like "reg" mushrooms so im sure that i'll love these, but not enough to pay that kind of money. dont get me wrong im not knocking someone for liking them that much, just not my style. guess next time i'm out and about i'll look around for a few =-)

    Looks sooooo good! I am hopeful it will be a good mushroom season here. Last year was terrible. I love a good spring meal of bluegills, crappies, and morels. Just doesnt get any better than that. Enjoy!
