Morels Coming Into Season!

We all know that April showers bring May flowers but the rains also bring tasty Morel mushrooms into season! Last year was a bumper crop of very large Morels but due to a late hunt, only a few precious pounds were harvested. This year, the planets are lining up and the hunt will be well timed. Will be heading to the favorite forest hunting ground with large sacs ready to be filled. These are true farm-to-table fungi delectables.

Caution: There are several types of morels, some edible and others poisonous. If you don't know one from the other and they are very similar in appearance to the inexperienced eye, please stay out of the woods.
