“Wild About Morels!”
Wow! Another season has quickly arrived! Once you see Lilacs blooming, it’s time for a walk in the woods! Now — if you’ve never hunted Morel Mushrooms, please don’t be discouraged if you don’t find them right away. It takes patients, a good eye and a whole lot of luck. Listed below are my hottest tips:
- Wear light clothing (Ticks are attracted to darker colors, plus
they are more easily seen) and use rubber bands around cuffs
and tuck your pants into your socks. - Look for areas with dense tree growth (Your local parks
are a great resource) - Look for trees that are loosing their bark. (Not completely,
but just starting to!) - Walk slowly around trees. Using a stick, look under the leaves
covering the ground. The mushrooms my be 20-feet away! - Oh! I’d go now! Before your neighbor picks them first!
