Mushroom, Mushroom, Mushroom


My Friend, the Morel Posted by Hello

Everyone bear with me while I'm working on this PhotoBlogging business. Blogger has started this new service and I'm a real yutz when it comes to figuring how stuff like this works.

Anyway, this is a morel mushroom. They are like crack to me. Put a little breading on one of these babies and fry it up with some butter and garlic and I'm a slave for life. We gather a few morels here and there every spring. However, there was a large-ish forest fire in our area last year, and now the entire fire area is carpeted in morels. It's madness. Matt and I picked for 2 hours last night and came home with seven pounds of them. I ordered a dehydrator off of e-Bay this morning and it better get here soon. Morel milkshake, anyone?
