Morels, and puffballs are wonderful and free. Hubby and I would drop them right into the melted butter, saute them, and eat them straight out of the pan, jabbing each other with forks if we thought the other was getting too many. We NEVER had enough to serve guests. My mouth is watering at the memory. . .
I have my secret morel and puffball spots that I won't tell anyone about until I am on my deathbed, if then. LOL!
I had to be married to my wife for 7 years before trusted me enough to tell me where to look. A good mushroom spot is a secret worth more than gold around these parts.
