I know mushroom spots, I was told of wild asparagus by sides of a country road but I never timed it right. I still had some, that's really hard to beat. The morels depend on your preference unless in a competition for weight. Young ones are good, some are more yellow, others grey. Some people used to hunt their family property/farmland then take them to Chicago market, sell for $15+/lb, in the early 90's, >30 years ago. That was before portabellas and other 'shrooms became connoisseur. Some people successfully bread and freeze Spongies to enjoy one more time.
I'm hungry too now, sorry. -
Well now I'm hungry!
Only been lucky enough to find them around here a couple times. People poach em. Kinda like all the wild asparagus. You gotta get on it early or others have it taken. Which is sad because mostly doesn't have enough time to reach a good maturity. 😕Last edited by Blowdout2269; 02-04-2023, 01:08 AM. -
Folks roun here watch their patch closely, and if you get to near it they will run you off. I had a place on Heyburn lake, I had to beat the armadillos to them. And even then my youngest girl would eat them as they were picked. I made Mom a mushroom soup with them, she enjoyed that a lot, mostly I fry them. -
Rwise - they grow in my ravine but it is steep. It's fun, they have competitions here. I just wasn't prepared with rubber bands around the bottom of my jeans' legs. Spur of the moment shroom hunt. I still got some every year from somebody but the last batch, which was awesome, made my gall bladder unhappy. When they were aplenty I fried them with onions to top a steak. Stuffed them like jalapenos but Italian bent. I always wished they could be kept for a while longer.
