Good God, 1st two posts...you guys are too much.


I would love to find some, but I am too chicken to take a chance on getting a wrong one. (Not that kind of wrong). My grandfather used to pick them and then my grandmother battered and fried them. They were awesome.

Grb...they look like this...Can't miss one when you see it in the woods. You usually don't find that many in one bunch, but it can happen.

Haven't found any yet. Just a little to early out here.

Yes, that is exactly the way the ones looked my grandfather picked. I haven't eaten one of those in 30 years. Good luck.

I dont eat them. but we usually get a metric poop ton in my 1 1/2 acres of woods. Its nothing but poplars.

The hallucinogenic class of mushrooms is called psilocybins. Those are the ones DEA considers class 1 controlled substance- no accepted medical usage.

For the legal ones, I picked some in the woods as a kid with grandpa, also looking like the ones pictured. I am going to pick up a book. It would be a way to take the kids out, and scout for turkey slaying places at the same time.

That'd be cactus. Mushrooms are different.

I've actually started (last year) to try to grow some mushrooms. Three types in logs and a morel patch in soil. From what I've read its a little early for them but I'm starting to watch my patch more closely. I'm getting good asparagus from my bed right now, isn't spring great (except the tree pollen is killing me).

Turkeys love morels.

My dad goes out and hunts morels every year, he usually gets a gallon or 2, used to get a lot more years ago. I don't know if it's because he's older and doesn't walk as far or can't see them as well or if they are just declining in the area.
