I usually get quite a few along the very front of my property - but nothing yet this year. I think the odd weather may have something to do with it.

I froze 12lbs of morels a couple weeks ago. I had surgery on my foot last Friday, so I haven't been able to get out and look for anymore. I usually average about 20lbs or so per season.

I'm not fortunate enough to have them grow in my yard. I have to crawl through wild rose bushes and brave the ticks and moquistos to get mine.

What's so special about them? I've never heard of hunting for mushrooms.
Are they edible?

What Kerm said... except I've heard of hunting for mushrooms, but I think the ones I've heard of being hunted before were for some other psychotropic purpose. ;)
What's the deal with these? I have never heard of this kind.

I've never seen them either. Not real keen on the idea of freezing mushrooms surely you would just eat them fresh.

Quite edible and can be profitable too if you know the right spots. I know a couple people who pick up extra money hunting and selling directly to some of the better restaurants in their area. |

Are they edible? As a fine dining chef for 17 years, morel season was always a highlight of my year. We had local guys come around and sell their prizes to us for way too much money a pound and we would turn around, prepare them and sell them for even more. Whenver I see them on a menu I have to order them. Prepared right they are some of the most wonderful food items around. The texture and taste rock.
I prefer eating the tiny to medium size ones but have seen them weigh up to a pound and stretch almost a foot long (that one wasnt too yummy but sure looked cool) |

'round these parts the old timers call morels "Dryland Fish", you slice them longways, batter them up and fry them. They are pretty darn good eatin'. Too bad the season is almost over for them in this area.

I dehydrate some of them before freezing. I also sautee some in butter and onion and seal them in bags before freezing. The reason for this is because of the abundance and the short-lived season for harvesting them which is usually about a month. Once dehydrated and frozen they will keep forever. When you want some to eat, just take from the freezer and put them in water. They will rehydrate back to size and texture like a sponge. 20lbs in your frig would spoil before you could eat them all. They are also expensive to buy in the store, if you can find them. Fresh ones in season at the store cost about $10 for about a half of pound. You can get about 3 ounces of dehydrated ones in the fresh herb section at the store for about $5.
