Morels


Spence, Cooper and I went on a quick morel hike before the Pens game (we should have kept hiking.) We found mostly tan / yellow morels with a couple greys under poplars and dead elms. We still need some more rain and humid nights for the big ones to come up, but it was a beautiful spring day to be outside.



Cooper getting in on the action, but not used to
to the 80 degree weather














As we were walking through the wide open woods, Spencer stopped to say something and as she turned a hen turkey exploded into the air from under a dead fall tree a couple feet directly behind her. She ducked like she was under attack and it was seriously one of the funniest things I've ever seen in the woods. Sure enough though, the only reason that hen was holding so tight, was she was sitting on a nest of three eggs. Mid-April - that's insanely early!

Can you find all three?

The finished product...a morel mushroom pizza!  Delicious!
