** MOREL MUSHROOMS **

[frank bullitt]

Came across a pair behind the a/c unit at the church, last week!...If I had only had the Bow with me!    

2 nice yellars, too!

Not sure about morels, but come the opener of elk season, there are a good number of edible mushrooms in the mountains. We have lots of chantarelles, which are excellent eating.

[Knawbone]

I'v read Morels like burned over areas, I haven't found any in years.

Here's a map that you might enjoy:    Morel Progression Sightings Map .  There's another web site that has something similar; if I can find it and it's worth it, I'll post that as well.

None here yet in the Granite Headed State. The robins bent their beaks trying to dig worms in the front yard this morning.    :eek:

Greg,

Spring time brings the morels for about a month or so. Usually when the Temps are a high of 55-65 during the day and acouple days after a rain you will find best conditions.

Ken,

Anything goes well with Morel.  There are a lot of recipes out there. I like them in sauces and when fresh I like them fried with a light coat of flour and in butter on a cast iron skillet.

Just wettn the appetite. With the cold spring in our parts my guess we won't be seeing the first ones until the 1st week of May.

Charlie,
  you HAVE to post the picls that you emailed me!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Twist my Arm Ken.

Although ones like Smoke's are more appealing to the Culinary Market, These large ones usually taste great too.

 

 

dont drool.

This thread should be deleted until we can get a few mushrooms in MT!  I've resisted posting hoping this would go away, but it's too good.  Pics are great and expect some pics of my own to make you guys jealous once they come out.

Perch fishing starts next week, a staple spring crop along with mushrooms here in western MT.  They don't have much to do with archery other than the fish fries we have in hunting camp in September.  

Keep pickin'

found a couple dozen around my area but it has been a month or more since i have found any. they started popping up about the middle of march

[SEMO_HUNTER]

I found 251 on 4/9 and 4/10
We call these the "Little Grey Mushrooms" and they are normally found in clusters. They are the same as big morels and taste every bit as good except they are half the size or smaller.
I hunt all mine in the river bottoms or close to it. The big white or blonde morels can be found in the bottoms or even up near ridge tops.
Unfortunately I cannot find the pictures on my computer. If I locate them I'll come back and post em.
I can't find the pic anywhere, but they look exactly like the picture that Smoke posted.
Very tasty!


Found 70 white morels day before yesterday.
4 Quart ziploc bags full all cleaned and sliced ready to bread and fry. MMMmmmmm Good!

[Stone Knife]

[J.Williams]

Wow Semo Hunter what a haul.I'll be watching for them while stumping and turkey hunting.Usually don't start finding them until early May around here.

[Al Dente]

Those are HUGE Charlie.  And Semo has way too many for one person, if you run outta room, I'll send my address.  Seriously though, in one word AWESOME!!!

[drewsbow]

 
Some That (toecutter) Nate and I found last year , hope for a repeat in a couple weeks. Drew

[ron w]

Charlie did you get the big ones in New York ??????

Cut'm in half blanch for about 20 or 30 sec., butter and soy in a frying pan and enjoy. The soy just adds that little extra that makes it my favorite recipe,
