Indiana Mushrooms are Here

This year has been quite a blessing when it comes to morel mushrooms. I was walking around the house the other day and what do you think was standing right by my house, yes a white tasty morel mushroom. Never have I found an edible mushroom in my yard until this year. We have found them by the bags full and the local buyer quit buying them because they are so plentiful in southern Indiana. If you have not been mushroom hunting yet, now is the time to go. It wont be long and they will be gone for the year. The only drawback are the ticks. Be sure to wear some kind of repellent. They are awful this year. I picked 103 ticks off the little one after one mushroom hunting trip so we learned our lesson the hard way. They don't like vinegar and garlic so be sure to put it all over you!

Mushroom Hunting Season

It's that time of the year the grass gets green,the snakes crawl out and the mushrooms pop up! My son's friend went mushroom hunting and found one. Yes one black morel. So with the thought of a morel actually surfacing brings out mushroom hunters across the state. Hoping for a bag of shrooms myself we ventured to the woods for a slight chance to find a few. No morels yet just some signs that it wont be long.

Sunshine

A little sunshine peeping through the clouds today. It's been very windy with lots of rain. I wanted to get back out and go mushroom hunting but the wind is going to have to die down alittle before I take the kids out in the woods today.

Indiana Mushrooms

Went out mushroom hunting again and here is what we found! I have cut them in half and rinsed them a few times. Now I will soak them overnight in salt water. Tomorrow we eat mushrooms! Yum Yum!

Mushroom Season

We made it out into the woods again yesterday and this time we found 4 mushrooms! So in the next couple of days they should be popping up like popcorn! Warm air is moving in so I am sure the mushroom woods will be calling.

Mushroom hunting on the Hiking trail

We went hiking today and enjoyed a picnic out on the trail. I found one mushroom today. It was alittle too early for the area we were hiking on. Its back to work tomorrow so I thought I would get some blog time in.
