I was wondering how you know how to tell the difference in morel mushrooms and in fake mushrooms and then what are the side affects of eating a poisnous mushroom?

Your dad looks sooo proud of himself! I’m going to go mushroom foraging, but with an expert, in the autumn and hopefully learn more about what I can and can’t eat. It’ll be interesting to see what we find…

those morels look incredible! i live in the berkshires of MA 1/2 the year and hear that there are morels around in the spring. i’ve looked and looked but unfortunately have never found any. i have only had fresh morels twice (in india of all places) and every year i try my luck again around my house… maybe some year i’ll get lucky!

thanks for the lovely photos!

I love hearing about everyone’s experiences with morels. While growing up, I never thought much about them. But now, I’m eager to go hunting … ever since returning from Michigan, it’s all I can think about :-)

I should note, that in addition to frying them in butter, we also used them in an asparagus and morel omelet for breakfast. Delicious!

I know they hunt morels in my neck of the woods but I have no idea where or if I would even have the right mushrooms. I did get some sent to me a few weeks ago and made a asparagus risotto with morels.

I was raised on a farm in Quebec and spent more time outside than inside. I always found mushrooms but did not know what kind they were, so we did not eat them. I can assure you now after looking at your beautiful pictures that they were not Morel. I enjoyed reading about this mushroom. I never seen it on Vancouver Island.

You’ll keep good memories on those hunt with your father and brother. Your father looks so healthy. What a joy to spend time with family.

morels are something I’d love to forage! I admit, though, that the risk of eating an unsafe mushroom (i.e. picking the wrong kind) scares the hell out of me.

I was always told to use an onion bag to allow the spores to fall out as you wander the woods so there are more morels the next year.
