I'm all ready to prepare my Morel Mushroom Soufflé for dinner tonight...those delicate masters of camouflage make this soufflé taste like a dream.

I'm also looking forward to being a judge at the "Taste of Morels" on Saturday, May 16th from 12:00-3:00 in Veterans Park, Boyne City MI.

My 2009 morel posting is up

http://vielmetti.typepad.com/v.....orels.html

with a book entitled simply "How to find morels" from the U of Michigan Press:

"While many morel fans remain tight lipped about their favorite subject, in How to Find Morels author Milan Pelouch freely shares everything he's learned during his years of morel hunting. The book covers all aspects of finding and eating morels: identification of true and false morels; what to wear (and not to wear) and take with you on mushroom hunts; when to search for morels; the best places to look for them; cleaning and preservation methods; and, of course, delicious recipes using morels in dozens of different dishes, from soups to entrées. Although the author's preferred hunting area is northern Michigan, his tips can be used in any location in the United States."

I am from around the Indian River area. Can i expect the morels to be across the state to the east of Boyne or are they concentrated on the west side?

Hey Carl, they definitely will point you at places to find morels if you go to the Morel Fest. Here's some maps of Michigan public lands from the State of Michigan.

April 20, 2008My wife and I had a mess of morels about 4 days ago!! Boy!! They were good!! No kidding! This early in the season already!! Last year, as every year, we halved them, rinsed, shook all the water off, froze them on cookie sheets, put in ziplocks for the freezer. 4 days ago we took them out, DID NOT wash them, DID NOT thaw them, just room thawed PARTIALLY, dipped them in Bisquick with garlic powder, fried them in hot buttered skillet....they were just like we picked them that morning!!

My MORELS & MORE weekend outings have taken place every year, 3-4 weekends, for almost 30 years. They are ideal for experienced and novice morel hunters alike. Everyone leaves feeling like a "morel pro" after the weekend of information, guided hunting, some fine Leelanau Peninsula wines and various morel dishes.
I'm sure your viewers would enjoy knowing this opportunity exists.
