Deep down, every morel hunter believes in divine providence.
There’s nothing so rewarding as baskets overflowing with morels,
and the taste is so divine hunters dream about it all winter. In spring,
they offer a fervent prayer to the mushroom Gods: May the fungus be among us.
Walking in the woods is its own reward, but with a little know-how and a lot of
luck, you may come with the tastiest treat in the forest. Morel mushrooms,
which are actually the fruit of an underground fungi, can be found from mid-March
thru May, depending on your location.
Morels do taste heavenly. But it’s the hunt that’s so addictive, not the mushroom itself.
For one thing, it’s fun to find something that’s so expensive in stores and restaurants,
and it’s fun to beat the odds by finding something so notoriously elusive.
It’s a lot like gambling — a windfall is hard to come by, but once you’ve had one, you
want a lot more. And sometimes, people do get lucky.
