It’s that special time of year – morel mushrooms have come back to the Mid-West! I recently had the pleasure of mushroom hunting with friends in Southern Indiana. I feel honored to have been invited and involved in their family tradition.
We hiked out into the woods on a sunny 80 degree day. The weather could not have been more beautiful. Once we got to my friends secret spot we quickly started finding morels.
Check out these beauties!
I’ve found that once you spot your first morel in the wild, it’s much easier to find them. Take a look at our bounty!
After we cleaned the mushrooms (by having them sit in salt water for about 20 minutes), we patted them try, tossed them in flour, and fried them in butter.
The morels tasted nutty, sweet, and oh so delicious. 
Be sure to check out my next post. I’ve got some tips for morel hunting when you’re ready venture out into the woods.
Disclaimer: Warning. Be careful mushroom hunting and only eat mushrooms that you are positive are morels and are not poisonous. Be sure to consult with an expert before eating any foraged fungi.
