The Morels Are Here!

The first batch of morels finally came in. We harvested about 2lbs. We caught them at the their start, so we hope to get up to 10lbs. this year. They go for about $24.00 a pound dried.

Morels are rather mysterious. There is only a two week period in which they even come up. April 16 seems to be the magic date in my area. Temperature, sunshine, and moisture also seem to be important factors.

They taste absolutely great. If you're a mushroom lover, then these will certainly be at the top of your list. You can use them in any recipe that calls for mushrooms or you can just cook them up in some butter and garlic. Good stuff.
