I haven't been out yet myself, but some friends have been finding them the last 2 weeks.

found a dozen last weekend while turkey scouting.one more good rain and they should be up good around here!

Our weather has really been jacked up this spring.
We had two weeks in March in the 70's which is unheard of, and a few people were finding some small grays.
Now were bouncing around in the 30's and 40's

Wish I knew more about this, and plan on looking for some later today while the kid fishes a kids-only trout pond. I'll be sure to post anythinig I find for positive ID before cookin em up.

My dad knew a guy that would bring a sampling of what he found to a street corner in Philly, give some out and tell them he'll be there the next day, same time, with some more. If the few guys showed up the next he figured they were ok to eat. That's old school though, and is frowned upon nowadays.

I really wish I enjoyed eating fungus...I'd like to go out and find some morels in the spring woods. Just another excuse to be out there.

Put em on your pizza Steve!!

How can you not like eating fungus?

FinsnFur · April 01, 2012, 06:58:08 PM

I found some mushrooms today!

....but it was at the grocery store

Coulter · April 01, 2012, 07:01:03 PM

Yuck...

I've tried and tried, I just can't bring myself to ruining a perfectly good pizza.

Oh, I don't know Jim - I kind of categorize it with something that grows between the toes of an overweight Twinkie eater.

Gotta be a "BITE ME" coming over that one!!!!!!!!!!!

Coulter · April 02, 2012, 09:04:42 AM

As tempting as it was I left out any reference to Bopeye...I didn't want to ruin Jim's grocery store find. He must've searched the aisles all day for those.

HaMeR · April 02, 2012, 02:18:40 PM

Yeah he may have!!

QuoteI kind of categorize it with something that grows between the toes of an overweight Twinkie eater.

That ^^ COULD be mistaken for a "reference to Bopeye". I'm glad I'm the only one that caught it so now Bop doesn't have to hand out a bunch of em.

I have no moral's...Wait, are you talking about Mushroom's?

FinsnFur · April 02, 2012, 08:49:41 PM

Nope your right and, your ok.

Bopeye · April 03, 2012, 05:54:17 PM

To think I had one of Coulter's beautiful calls out the other day.......bragging like mad about it to Weedwalker.

As mentioned above earlier by one of my cohorts............Bite my ~~Twinkie~~ I mean.......uh........ BITE ME Coulter.

BTW, a guy I work with claims to be finding them. I personally haven't been looking. Who needs fungus when you have Twinkies......eh?

Coulter · April 03, 2012, 09:26:21 PM

Ahh, It's been a long time since earned "Bite Me"

QuoteWho needs fungus when you have Twinkies......eh?

Right on to that

I thought they quit making Twinkies though? We will will always have Raspberry Zingers...mmmm Good

We got a fish house here on the river that sells clams, and walleye, and cat fish jerky etc, etc...
They also buy and sell morels every year.
I had my daughter give them a call this past weekend and see what they was selling them for. This is always a tell tale sign as to how many are getting found.
They said they had two pounds all weekend and wanted $32.00/lb for them.

Thats NOT a good sign
