Morel mushrooms

[Ken]

That time of the year when they're poppin' here in the midwest and Penn. Something I love doing- hiking through the woods and picking them. Regrettably, they're a pain in the ass to find. Anyways, anyone else hunt these damned things or am I the only one here who's willing to spend 2 hrs. in the woods, many times finding NOTHING.

So, I've got about 50 right now and am looking for a good recipe. Anyone got any suggestions?
I've already done the 'Tarragon cream sauce', frying in a bit of butter, and in omelettes.

They're here in Southern Indiana. Last year, I hunted for them with some buddies and we got about 150 of them. I took some and fried them in a tempura batter. Made a rich garlic alfredo sauce to dip them in. Good stuff.

Not sure if I will do it this year.

If you’re still living in Pittsburgh, you’re not in the Midwest. Dumbfuck.

RACK.

The Midwest stretches from about Lompoc to Santa Cruz. Anything east of I5 is considered the Far East.

Every year around the Morel season, Kendra comes in here claiming that Pittsburgh is in the Midwest. I don’t think those are Morels he’s eating, it’s some of these:

...or maybe these?

Not interesed for myself, but people are hitting the morels hard around here as of late.

I'll probably wait until fall, when the "silly season" kicks into gear.

Are you guys high on cooking gas, or what?

It looks to me like he typed in the midwest and Penn. It looks like he's mentioning 2 (two) regions, ninnies.

Sorry. I got this far and quit. Hey, it’s not the first time he claimed Pittsburgh was in the Midwest. We should probably cut him some slack, though. Hard to tell how long his ex had him Pickkkling black cock by proxy.

Regrettably, it looks like there's a loophole w/resepct to the 'ignore' function.


ANYWAY, the blasphemy of it all... I could've done anything w/the morels. I mean, shit- they're essentially top shelf mushroom material. I freaking saute`ed them in butter and put 'em on a burger. Still, some good shit though.

Fast food joint Burgerville features a burger with suate'ed chantrelles, or shiitakes, or some such shit every year.


Doesn't make you a bad person.

No, but morel season is such a short one. Couple that w/my extensive travel and I've little time to hike into the woods and hunt 'em. When I do find the time to get some, I'd like to make the best of it... which isn't on burgers in my opinion.

Up in Michigan, morel haven, right now. Peak of the season and no time to go hiking into the woods. Dead/declining Elms are everywhere up here, this being the most common location to find morels. Elms are a piece of pie to pick out of the landscape which doesn't make me any more happy knowing I can't search under 'em as I drive by literally hundreds of them.

Edit to add: I can at least take solace that chanterelle season is only a few months away- those being MUCH more easily found.
