Gavin, They should start popping now. :D The deeper in the woods, the better. :D If you find any in sandy areas, take them to the Eager Beaver and run them through a couple of wash cycles to get the sand out. :roll: Good luck and don't ever reveal where you found them. :wink: :wink:

As I said, "...don't ever reveal where you found them." :!: :!: I'm so flush with morels over here on Whiskey Island that St. James Township is thinking of buying me out or buying me back again, not sure how that whole transaction would work. :P :lol:
Good scrounging to everyone but beware of false morels, they can as dangerous as false prophets on a forum. :roll: :roll:

Run a search online for false morels. :!: False morels, not to be confused with loose morals, are not beefsteaks. :roll: False morels are poisonous. :shock: You don't hear much about them because those who eat them have switched from mushrooming to now pushing up daisies. :cry:
