MORE MORELS

This spring is definitely one for the record books — record high and low temps as well as record rainfalls. With spring coming late, all plants were about 2 weeks late to bloom, including the morels. We found a good bunch in Southern Illinois during the third week of turkey season, right around April 20th.

A lot of rain has really helped the morels pop. If the weather had stayed consistently warm, we really would have had a record year in my opinion. But we still did pretty good.

We found a few big yellow morels this past Sunday. So I think they will be poppin for a few more days.  After that, morel lovers will have to wait another 11 months.

If you have time, get out and hit the woods. These 70-80 degree days may give us one more burst. We’ve had good luck this year in strip mine country, usually where giant cottonwoods are growing.

If you find some, make sure you try one of these awesome recipes.
