Spent the weekend in Iowa and look what I found. I picked the perfect weekend and hit the mother-lode of mushrooms. We found four patches that yielded over 50 plus mushrooms. The mushroom tally for the weekend was 100 plus pounds. Locally mushrooms go for $15/lb and $50+ on the Internet. We eat all we can and give away the rest. Friday afternoon about 25#  Saturday afternoon 28#  A fresh morel 5"  As big as my fist  A small grouping

On the contrary sir, I have a friend whose dad is from Indiana and about 3 years ago his dad went back home to go shroom huntin. After hearing what they had to do to get the mushrooms, much of which was illegal and sounded like stuff people from east Texas do, I had to try them. WOW!! I felt privileged to share in his shroom huntin success. They are DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElicious!! He floured them and them fried them in butter. It was like dinner and dessert all in one.

I will give up the opportunity to pick wild mushrooms and gladly live in Texas.
I can buy mushrooms. You can't buy being a Texan. };o)
