[djl02]

Just got back a while ago found 16 yellows and one white.Looks like its about over down south, left a few because they were so crumbly ,knew they wouldnt be much when I got home. What I got will taste good though.

I have NEVER been shroomin... I do know that one must know PRECISELY what they are picking or gawd forbid they pick the wrong mushrooms... Anyway, I would love to collect mushrooms, anyone have a good reference?

I'll take a shameless plug and direct you to two of my threads.

Morels: Identification for newbies (lots of pics)

and

Morels: How to Hunt

Once you learn the hows, where's and why's, the thought of the wrong mushroom won't be so scary.

My father in law just found these in my woods today near the Lafayette are. He only looked around a small portion of it. I'm sure my wife will be on her way out there shortly.

My inlaws, wife, and daughter just found 7 more. My daughter got her first one.

Yellows in Sheridan

My dad found these today in Sheridan, "Hamilton Co". I just had to go over for dinner for a steak, fresh asparagus and a few of these.

I found 5 more today. 1 is pretty dry, 2 are small and the other 2 are nice. I'm going to love going mushroom hunting in my front, side, and back yards.

Now, if I can just keep my building crews out of them.

Took my nephew on his first mushroom hunt today. We had 30 min in the woods and found 28 fresh yellows. This year may not be so bad after all.

Is there any way to cook these besides floor and butter? That smell makes me want to throw up so I don't eat them. I love regular sauteed mushrooms and was wondering if someone knew how to cook them that way and what seasoning to use.

If you want to sautee them, slice them lenghtwise and fry them with a little butter or olive oil. I just use salt and pepper, sometimes a lttle garlic powder as well.
I don't like them breaded and can't stand the smell either.
If you want to try something different, sautee them with onion or wild leek, then scramble a couple eggs right on top of them.
Morels also go well on steak or baked with pork chops.

Thanks, I'll try that if I find any more tomorrow.

You could also try one of those boxes of batter mix. I like the "beer batter" for like fish and such, dip em in and fry em up. Maybe that would change the smell I cant guarantee anything cause I have never had a problem with the smell no matter how they are cooked.

It's not the smell of the mushrooms, it's the smell of the cooking flour that I can't stand. I'd imagine that's hornadylnl's problem too.

 

[red_zr24x4]

i use olive oil mostly to cook them, sometimes butter, sometimes butter/olive oil mix

Yes, its the smell of the flour.

Found 20 or so today. Alot of dried up ones. I believe they are done. I found 2 that were around 12'' tall and may not be able to be saved. Gonna try but not too worried. I was just finding more to freeze. Sick of eating them for a while.
