Morels?

Nothing here yet in eastern Iowa in the usual spots.

Anyone finding grays yet?

Met son's friend for a playdate this afternoon, his mom said her hubby (park ranger) was going hunting after work.

Well back to mushrooms rumor is small greys are appearing. I can't ever find those little buggers anyway. They need to be at least an inch or two high before I can see them.

Hi Cyber

Haven't heard much in central Iowa, hoping to catch it just right with turkey hunting next weekend in southern Iowa.

Buddy sent me a picture of about 25 or 30 greys he had picked up the weekend of the 9th in southern IA.

 

[carvers4math]

Yea, greys are all abundant in southern Iowa.

A friend on FB posted that she had found ~40 lbs somewhere around Council Bluffs. Offered them up for $25/lb, is that a normal going rate??

I'm a fan of mushrooms, but not that much of a fan.

Spent about two hours today in central iowa, and nothing yet. I'll try again mid week

That's a good price. You'll see them advertised for $50/lb or more.

So people will pay more for some of these mushrooms than a really good steak (or just about anything else I can think of)? :shocked:

Do they reverse the signs of aging and make your ***** bigger, or what?

People are lazy and they aren't sold in grocery stores.

Its pretty easy to kill a cow and cut some meat off of it. Pretty easy to understand supply and demand.

Right, but a piece of that cow tastes wayyyy better than a mushroom.

To each their own, but there's not any food anywhere that I'd pay $50/lb for.

I'll agree that it's hard to beat a good steak, but morel mushrooms are a delicacy that only appear in the wild for a few weeks each year. Then they're gone. And they're not exactly easy to find, either. This is the only time you'll get to find them and eat them fresh for the whole year. And they are delicious when fried. Fresh crappie + morel mushrooms + cold beer = close to Heaven.

I wouldn't pay $50/lb myself, but a pound of mushrooms is actually quite a bit and there are people that will pay it.
