After some strong April showers, most of us are ready for some sunshine and warmth. As we all know, May is famous for its spring flowers, like trilliums, Dutchman’s breeches, columbine, and many more. But, for some folks May is more famous for…fungi!
That’s right! May’s moist soil and warming temperatures provide ideal growing conditions for the famous morel mushrooms! These tasty delicacies have distinctive hollow, “brainy” patterned crowns ranging in color from gold to black atop plump stems.
Renowned for their rich flavor and delicate texture, morels offer some of the finest dining from field and forest. However, finding them can be tricky.
Experienced morel hunters often have a few productive areas they visit annually. Under dead trees, especially elms, and recently burned forests are some good places to start your search. However, morels’ very fickle growing habits and somewhat mysterious growing preferences keep even veteran mushroom pickers guessing about where to look for them. For those who are careful, patient, and persistent tasty rewards await!
It is important to be very careful when picking mushrooms. No matter how tasty morels may be, please remember to use caution when picking. Be sure to make positive identification of each mushroom, or you may wind up with an imposter which can make you sick or worse!
