Mushroom report thread!

Well the little fellers are right around the corner, if you are not looking maybe you should. I talked to my cousin yesterday and they found 11 gallons of reds just south of Truman Lake on Wednesday!

If the reds are up, the morels won't be far behind....woo hoo!!

Tim,
Here's a pick of a red morel .. alot of people call them false morels .. due to their chemical makeup, alot of people say you shouldn't eat them and if you do, they should be prepared a little different (I think you have to boil them for awhile). I'd definitely do a little research before frying some up.

I have never eaten one either, my cousin eats them all the time and his dad did also. I think they just slice and fry but will check with him and let you know.

[Jerkey Log]

Just talked with him, he just slices as
they are solid, then batter and fry. He said they are not as good as morels but he likes them. Also said some people don't like them at all!

All this mushroom talk has me excited for morels .. should be soon!

Thanks! Now I'm Hungry!!!!

I can't tell a difference between them myself....I have never found a HUGE red one before though either, that might be the difference. The biggest one I have found was around baseball.

Here is a picture of a picture my cousin had of the ones they found this week! I talked him into trading mushrooms for some crappies. On the menu for tomorrow night, will let ya know what I think!
