Morel Mushrooming!!!

[Eskimo-Bert]

     That's tue ------ they dehydrate very well andwhen you rehydrate them the flavor iseven more intense-------- I found about 60 this evening and cant wait to go get some more!  of course, the ones i found this evening went into a gravy with some onions poured over a real nice baked steak!

                                             Mmmmmmmm-Mmmmmmm good!

I didn't count, but probably found between 75-100 over the weekend. Had a great meal Saturday night with deer roast, fried potatoes, fried cabbage, and mushrooms! Planning on a couple of steaks and some mushrooms tonight with my girlfriend!

Sure do love them firied with some backstrap.  We will have a very few about a month from now and the big ones are about the size of the end of your thumb.  A/ho Joe

 me and bert only found about 3 the other day whn he posted this but we went out yesterday and we found quite a few think imgoing out today to get some more.  Man i wish they grew all year!!

Had a mess tonight, and they were good. Shannon, just stick 'em in the dehydrator and let them dry, store them in a 'shine jar, and soak them in warm water or milk to reconstitute them  before you cook them. They taste just as good or better than fresh ones, and they'll keep forever as long as you keep them dry and sealed up.

Shannon, bring some of the dried ones to the Classic, I'll trade you something. I've never ate one before.

[JW_Halverson]

Reconstituted wild morels are crazy strong flavored.  Man, I'm here to tell you they will make a stew stand up and cheer!

[FlintWalker]

Well then...I reckon I'll dry some!
 Eddie, if'n I get hold of more I will. No trade required

[Bone pile]

Eddie if you don't like them shrooms just bring em back with you and I'll be more than happy to take care of them.Haven't had one in years and you guys are killin' me

My girlfriend and I cooked some last night and they stole the show! Had them with steak and twice baked potatoes.

Got the skillet hot with some olive oil, put the mushrooms in and several slices of butter on top. A few dashes of worchestshire sauce, salt and pepper. After they cook down some we added heavy cream with some flour to make a gravy. They were great!

[Wolf Watcher]

Shannon:  If you have some dried and some left over from Mullet, I would like to trade for some.  We didn't find enough last year to even stink up the skillet!  A/Ho Joe

[FlintWalker]

I've got a few in the oven drying now Joe. We'll see how it turns out

[JW_Halverson]

All right, enough already!

It's time for the moderators to lock this thread.  It's causing im-morel thoughts!

[mullet]

JW, I'd think about locking this thread if you loaded up your butt and came to the Classic with Joe.

[JW_Halverson]

It sure sounds like fun, Gus.  (oooh, that pun stinketh)

My heart will be there, Eddie.  One of the three big things keeping me from going is a huge fundraiser we are doing for the non-profit I started, the Black Hills Raptor Center.  It might not look good if the founder didn't show up.
