2022 morel season

[Redlined]

Well it ain't over yet we found another 76 today with a couple turkey tail as well. Wasn't sure what the turkey tail was so I left a whole lot more than I gathered. Took them 2 to a buddy to make sure they were edible. Gonna try em and if I like em I know where a bunch more are. View attachment 100231 View attachment 100232

Question for you guys. Once picked how long will they last if ya wait to cook them and do you leave them soaking in water the whole time

Need a little help with the turkey tail. I dunno how to cook it or anything about it. Been looking online but I still ain't figured out if ya soak it like morals or what

They have to be picked young and tender to be any good. Can’t tell from the pic if they will be tender. Some people call those pheasant backs. I’ve tried cutting them into thin strips and sautéed in garlic butter. Probably my least favorite wild shroom to eat. Check online under pheasant backs. Those are some awesome yellows you’ve been picking!

Seems I can never cut a pheasant back thin enough to make it chewable lol

Don’t soak. Just rinse and dry.

I got some good advice from @Recurve78 and tried just a little bit of the pheasants back I found last year. Sometimes different types of mushrooms affect folks differently. The pheasant backs gave me a good case of the trots. I fixed a small bit a couple different ways. They were all about like eating old cut up boot leather.

Yeah I figure I'm gonna try really small amounts as well a few different ways. My buddy advised me to try a small amount but we never discussed how to clean em or nothing. If I like em I'll go back if not they can rot where they are growing. I'd say I seen 50 or more if I can just really where they all were

Went to my uncles today and had a decent time in about 2 hours. Found 32

Saw 3 box turtles in the woods today, heard some gobblers and a first for me, jumped a covey of wood cocks. One flew up and then 4 more followed. Must be mating season for them. Never jumped more than one at a time before.

My niece went back and checked today where we got the last batch of 76 at and found another 13. I was tied up with yard work and couldn't go. I did try the pheasant back today. I like em but ain't gonna make a special trip to just go pick them. Only 12 pictured as they stepped on one and tore it to pieces as ya can see a few are mangled I think they dropped the bag and stepped on it

 

[Luther's Feist]

We got 24 more today along with a couple more pheasant backs and this unknown to me cluster. That puts us at 590 for the year
