Morel Hunting

Went for an evening hike with Spencer on Good Friday for the season's first morel hunt.   This was the earliest I've ever hunted morels but, with the warm weather we've had and a few confirmed reports, we took a stroll.  Spence spotted the first morels of the seasons and we ended up finding 16 small white ones.  Not quite the pop cans we found here last year, but more like their midget cousins.  These must have came up with that hot weather we got about a week or so ago.  But the lack of rain and the 30 degree nights probably stunted their growth.  I never thought I would say it, but we need rain badly in April!

What they lack in size, though, they will make up for in flavor.  Morel omelettes for Easter morning!!
