| Who's hunting? I've been checking reports daily, planning on getting out this weekend. |
|
It aggrivates me that people pick the 1"ers just so they have something to take a picture of. There's a FB page for the Iowa morel season and several people are posting a half dozen baby mushrooms they've already pulled.
Hoping this sunshine will help bring em out in central Iowa. Really want to go hit up the Saylorville area. |

I've never had them are they any good? Breaded with crackers and egg then fried in butter....mmmmmmm...I can only eat a couple, but damn they are good. Dandelion flowers prepared the same taste about the same. Pull the stem and green leaves off. |
I've heard the dandelion story too, but I'll stick with the morels. Another little known favorite is the giant puffballs that turn up about the end of September. Around here they get the size of soccer balls, and they are really good sliced and battered like morels. Gotta pick them when they are white and firm, before they start to turn dark and go to spore.

Quoted: Sister in law's boyfriend went out near his hometown(Dubuque area) and found over 16 pounds. Gave me a big baggie full, probably 3/4 pound. FOr those more experienced than me, how long are they good for in the fridge, and can they be frozen or dehydrated? |

That's quite the haul. |

The two bags he shared were full of good sized ones too, I passed them on to my brother in law-he was very interested in them and more likely to eat them before they went bad than me. |
