Yeah, it is just one of the most prized foods on this planet. $1000 per kilo on market, and up to $5,000 per kilo retail. But no, I've never had a true truffle. Just shavings. Incredibly delicate.
I don't know that I've ever seen a Morrell in this part of the country. Besides that, it's got to warm up first. 20 minutes ago it was snowing, then sleet, then rain. But it's warming... up to 40 degrees right now. LOL I don't think spring will ever get here.
Found a few today while out in the timber for a class. I'm hoping this weekend we might get some sun and a little warmer weather to have some fresh ones pop up.
Try the site: www.thegreatmorel.com they show morels being found in previous years all along the east coast.
I actually just got back from mushroom hunting and didn't find a thing. A couple weeks ago, my dad found some. We rolled them in seasoning flour and fried them. Best way I've ever had them. Crick....have you ever eaten "milkcaps" or "deer horns"? They both grow in the summer. Milkcaps are right below morels in my book. Milkcaps Deer horns
Mmmmmm, Love Mushrooms. Had my first Morel last turkey season with Matt / PA and his buddy Rusty up in NY.. we lucked into a bushel and quickly picked them. We fried them in butter, ate them out of the pan, ate them on steaks and simply on bread with butter. Mmmmm MMmmmm gots to say I'm a fan.
So jealous We had 8 inches of snow again on Wednesday and are still at least 2 weeks away from finding morels here
Finch, I have never seen the milk caps or deer horns in my area. We have alot of toad stool, similar to milk caps but different and I dont think you can eat those. (interesting)
