I don't know how you can find any mushrooms at all with as little rain as we've had (the last big storm notwithstanding).
You better be careful....!!!!
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
I don't do mushrooms pusher-man.
They were so good. I want to go hunting again.
I've never gone out specifically looking for morels but I usually find a bunch when I'm turkey hunting. The soil around here is pretty sandy and no matter how much I clean them there always seems to be some grittiness left in them. Never have that issue with the ones I find in eastern Oklahoma or Missouri.
I love them though, not much better to eat from the outdoors than a plate of grilled turkey breast with a side of morels.
I would agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
Poor turkeys...
Seriously, there is nothing more exciting than when you are calling in a gobbler...enticing him into your lair...you can hear him getting closer and closer...but don't move, don't even blink....
I ran into a couple of mushroom hunter walking along the road about about 2 weeks ago. They had only found a couple, but it go me interested.
Even though I don't really like mushrooms, I wanted to find some. Read all about it on the internet, and hit the woods. Never found one.
Since the big rains, I've seen lots of toadstools, so maybe I ought to try again. Of course the ticks are getting going good now, too.
They are good and we used to hunt them all the time with my father. West of Hominy on a certain creek is a sweet spot. I can't believe they're out already.
One of my employees brought me some just yesterday. Any recommendations on how to cook them?
My mother used to batter and fry them. The Oklahoman had an article this past week of a local chef cooking German schnitzel with them. He said he plucked them that very day.
Normally they aren't out until the first rain of April.
I watched some junk on youtube to get an idea, anyone know any tricks to find them in these parts? Creekbanks, deep woods, roadsides?
Are they under leaves, usually?
Sounds good pic. I'll try them this weekend. Thanks!
Thick woods near a creek. I always looked in the shady areas during daytime. It's like finding gold.
I ate a bunch of them before the 1984 Van Halen concert.
Good times.
Oh, and I always found them around heaping piles of shade-protected bovine excrement.
I guess that would explain seeing Mötley Crüe when they weren't opening for Ozzy.
You folks from tex-***, eat these.

These were very delicious breaded, fried, and dipped in Ranch. I'm a Morel newb, but I think I may pursue this hobby annually.
Yes! I've actually found them growing out of a cowpattie.
Awesome Hubs. I'm jealous.
