Morel Mushroom Festival, Boyne City MI, May 17-20 2007

Continuing morel mushroom coverage here in season:

The 47th Annual National Morel Mushroom Festival
Boyne City, Michigan

May 17th-May 20th 2007

Each May, Boyne City fills with hundreds of mushroom lovers from around the country who come seeking that elusive delicacy-the marvelous morel. Found in nearby woods and clearings, morels are favored by those who know their 'shrooms.

Our town host the Boyne City Mushroom Festival and National Morel Mushroom Hunt each year, and for a few short days, everything is all about mushrooms. Restaurants prepare exotic, morel-laden entrees,local songsters sing of the morel, secret hunting places and recipes are shared, and everybody goes on the mushroom hunt. A good year can yield thousands of the mouth-watering treats. But, even when a dry spell or late spring makes morels scarce, the festival is always fun for everyone.
