We hunted for morels today in a nearby woods. No luck, but we took a class from Ellen Elliott Weatherbee, who instructed us that "the mushroom god decides". Humility is important in this enterprise.

Just being out in the woods is enough to make you lucky. What other things did you see when you were there?

I had high hopes that there would be good morel info in google books, but not so much. found this though http://books.google.com/books?id=M-oCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA64

I think I may have seen a small skunk cabbage, but unfortunately our little Sunset-Brooks area still is very high in invasives. The prettiest thing I saw was a patch of Scilla (non-native). The mayapple hint is a good one. I love their peltate leaves, anyway, so a good thing to hunt for.

Absolute Michigan's annual morel post is up:

noting a collection of recipes from Traverse City including Morel Mushroom Cream Sauce With Pasta. (mmm)

No tramping in the woods for us today, but Joe & I did have simply amazing morels in the salad on the great $22 prix fixe lunch menu at Blackbird in Chicago. Best I've ever had!

Up here in the north we're still seeing forsythia and daffodils. No leaves are out yet. In our woods we spotted several false morels...but we DO NOT eat them! Hoping for some warm rain to spur the real morels into action. Yesterday it was cold enough for some snow showers! Today the sun is shining.
