What's sad is I just don't like eating them that much. It's like a little treasure hunt to me The family and friends sure like them.

I cut them in 1/2, let them soak in salt water for a couple days, roll them in flour, and fry them up.

The smaller ones I usually sautée in butter and beer. The hubby likes them in eggs.

If you go shroom hunting you would be a fool to not be packin around here...

They literally come here in droves to pick mushrooms, they grow in the fresh burned areas. I have seen school busses converted to processers with driers and vacuum packers set up in side. and buyers will set up in the neighboring areas.

They'll run $40 and up a pound here. Still waiting to thaw out right now. I only found a dozen last year, but one was the size of my fist. Wasn't as good to eat as the little ones though.

I've never been too hot at finding morels, but i do get chantrelles every fall on my land. I also am growing some shiitakes on alder logs.

When I lived in northern California, there were lots of chantrelles, including the little black ones, hedgehogs, oysters, and matsutakes.

LOL! I know several people that hunt around Rogers. I hunt a little here and a little there. I've got family in Madison County and we hunt out there some. This stupid weather is ruining everything!

I'd love to go up north and hunt sometime, or those fresh burned areas like AkTallPaul mentioned. I've always heard that was AWESOME.
