Looks Like Its Going To Be A Good Year
I found five more morels today, and I wasn't even looking for them! With all the rain we've had, coupled with the fact that I've found over a dozen morels so far without even trying, I suspect that this is going to be a VERY good year for mushrooms. Now having typed that, I probably wont find another morel this year!

110/365: The Last Morel?
I think we're done with morels in these parts for the year. I spotted this one clinging to a creekbed. I found nearly 50, so it is my best year yet for morel hunting. Next up, chanterelles!Labels: morels, mushrooms, Project 365

WHEEEEE!! A morel! We found three in this area.Sunday, May 10, 2009
Hey its a morel! Oh wait, no it isn't. Turns out this little bugger is verpa bohemica. Some people eat this. Some have no problems as a result. Some lose muscle coordination. I found about a dozen of these, and was really excited, until I cut one open and saw the cottony insides. Always check your mushrooms!

Deceptive little buggers! They LOOK like morels, but they're actually verpas.

Fungi Frustration
Well, two hours of beating the bushes yielded: One bracket fungus and two LBM's (little brown mushrooms). I just might be a week early. More rain today, I'll try again next Sunday.

Adventures In Fungiculture!
Wel, I decided to try my hand at growing morels, which is notoriously difficult. I spent much of the past month preparing the bed for the mushrooms, and I've now inoculated it with morel spawn. We now wait a year to see if it works.Labels: gardening, morels, mushrooms, square foot gardening

Mighty Morels!

Someone spends too much time around children! Stop goofing around and lets find some mushrooms!Labels: mingo creek, morels, mushrooms, nature
Mary spotted the first morel of the day. She called out, "Hey what's this ugly looking thing?" Exactly what we're looking for. We only found five on our little trek through the woods, but they were all HUGE! We found lots of morel stumps though, looked like someone got to the park a day ahead of us.
