Over the Hill -> Are these what I think they are? (5/3/2008 6:14:46 PM)

I'm not a mushroom expert, but, hopefully someone can identify these for me. They look like morels. Anybody positively know? Found a huge patch of them this afternoon. Thanks in advance...

PS: Real quick---any good recipes? OTH

Yup! Lucky you.

I just roll them in flour, and saute them in butter/olive oil, and garlic.

Slice them in half lengthways, and soak them in cold salt water for a few hours first. Take an onion, or similar semi-porous sack to pick them. It will help keep your patch going in future years.

Here's a few I got in a minutes worth of pickin'. I heard there are similar mushrooms to morels that are no good. Anyone know what the difference is? I'll do a google later when I get time.   OTH...

There are some with similar shape, size, and color. The difference is the surface of the head. Morels have that pock marked ( Freddy Kreuger face ) look like the ones pictured above. No pits, and pocks, no good.

Thanks Spoon.  We were picking up garbage along an unnamed town rd. and WHOOP! There they were! What a patch!

I heard for the longest time how good they are and now I'll get a chance. There's a mess of little ones poppin up. The deer dug up a mess of them, scrapes all over. Putting some some deer fencing around the area tonite so they don't get the rest. I never got into picking mushrooms because I never had anyone who knew what they were doing to show me the right ones to get.

Got to get a good beer to go with them for dinner later....(play the lottery while I'm at it!)

Thanks again for your speedy reply ad recipe! OTH

God darn squirrels and deer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never got all the deer netting up last nite as there were "people" out walking and I didn't want to give up the spot.[;)]

Needless to say, within the first hour of light this morning, the ones I left to grow yesterday were mostly gone! Deer tracks and I saw squirrels running out of there as I walked up.[sm=dark.gif][sm=dark.gif][sm=dark.gif][sm=brutal_46.gif][sm=brutal_46.gif][sm=ak.gif][sm=2gunsfiring_v1.gif][sm=ak.gif][sm=2ar15smilie.gif]

They are tasty treats. [:)]  Making red potatos, porterhouse steaks, corn on the cob, and the morels smothered in butter with garlic and sweet onion on the grill tonite for supper. [sm=fantastisch_11.gif][sm=fantastisch_11.gif][sm=fantastisch_11.gif][sm=fantastisch_11.gif][sm=fantastisch_11.gif]
