My mom’s husband is part owner of 300 acres in northern Michigan. They find lots of Morel’s there. I’ve only been there twice and once I was target shooting and some trespassers hunting Morel’s walked right into my line of fire. Another time, my mom and her husband were hiking. He was open carrying a Colt .45 in a cowboy rig when they happened upon trespassers who held up their hands and immediately surrendered.
I have heard people go a little crazy over those mushrooms. I only cooked with them once...pork medallions sautéed with morels and pitted cherries
It came out really good. I poured the juice I reconstituted the morels in into the sautee pan.
But I wouldn't go one someone's land to get those, or do anything else without asking first.
It's bad manners to impinge on the possessions of another person without their consent, and I dislike bad manners.
