    Thumbs up The Mighty Morel!

    We actually have a company specializing in teaching, hunting, and selling anything morel related, here in Illinois. They're out of Magnolia, Ill. and they're called "Morel Mania, Inc.". Their web-site, for anyone interested, is www.morelmania.com.

    I love hunting for Morels. Grew up hunting them, walk through the woods with my dad and two burlap sacks

    Now I'm confused. Which one is hollow and which one is solid?

    If I'm understanding right, the TRUE Morel is the hollow one. Anyway, those are the ones I've eaten for over 50 years now. Sorry, I forgot you live in Utah, probably don't have any Morels down that way, huh?

    Nope I've only seen pictures but they intrigue me as much as ginseng. It makes me wonder just how good they are, that they are actually hunted. Almost makes my mouth water just imagining how they could taste

    People either like 'em, or they don't. I've seldom met anybody who could take 'em or leave 'em, and actually met one guy that wouldn't even try 'em because he thought they looked like little brains. Someone had given him a bag full that he gave me. If you ever get over to the mid-west in early April to mid-may you might try to find some folks to help you out!

    i will agree on that, once in arizona went to hunt camp with a friend that afternoon he took a cow elk his wife cooked up the liver right away with fresh onions and mushrooms was one of the best meals i ever ate(funny how eat and ate have the same letters and yet spelled differently mean something else i cannot think of another word like that)
