I hunted them as a little girl and kept their location a secret as my father had taught me. Morels don't grow in Texas, and so I've been without them for 25 years! Yesterday at a fancy grocery store, I saw them dried. Guess how much they were. Really, guess.................................$158 dollars a pound!!! I know there are a lot of dried mushrooms in a pound, but still.

Of course, you gotta make sure you get mushrooms that won't kill you... farm mom - sort of look like pancakes I think...also awesome! YD - hmmm...shrooms...no comment... Mim - Any log will work but hardwood is best and white oak is the best of the best Taylor - I think I see his vision! It sounds great! Emily - ah...last year's birthday cake was wonderful! Capri Kel - my wife is so forgiving! Ron - I hunted chanterelles with the kids last night...they're awesome too! Chiot's Run - I am still new to it too but I love mushrooms...couldn't resist! The Old Gray Egg - It seems that there are so many mixed bits of information on raising mushrooms. I am lucky to have a friend...she has advised me on how to do these and how to find wild mushrooms too...critical! Loretta – I can’t think of a single recipe that wouldn’t be better with mushrooms.

We visited one of the producers one day, and I have wanted to try doing it ever since, but haven't found instructions. We grew Shiitakes once, but my wife got sick after eating a meal prepared with them and won't eat them now, so I'm looking for an alternative. .-= The Old Gray Egg´s last blog ..<a href="http://oldgrayegg.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-lake-ospreys-and-eagles.html" rel="nofollow">A New Lake, Ospreys and Eagles</a> =-.
