As the leaves come out on the trees, and the trillium are in bloom, that is the time we hunt for morel mushrooms.  I had not been a very good hunter until Mark helped me out last spring, showing me what a good spot looks like, and how they appear.  And suddenly, I could find them.  Problem is, we can hunt, but we never know if

• a)  they grow there at all
• b)  they have emerged yet
• c)  if someone has just picked over that spot

I liken hunting the morels to fishing, and I’ve never had luck at that (although I’d like to fly fish when I retire).  In any event, every evening I hunt for the mushrooms, and I’m hoping soon to land some!
