Morel Mushrooms

Wednesday, April 30

     We found our first two Morel mushrooms!  They were right outside our gate.  Bill and Leslie introduced us to Morel mushrooms.  Morels are very distinctive looking - sort of like sea sponges on a stem.These mushrooms are quite rare so hard to find.  They only come up for about a month  each year so you better find them while you can.  They grow under the big cedar trees and in the cedar glades.  I have had Morels fried in batter that Leslie and tiffany have cooked? YUM is all I can say!  I cooked several chopped up morels in my spaghetti sauce the other day.  The morels could replace meat in the sauce.
