It also allowed me to bring home and wash up these morels. First I rinsed off the dirt, then while I showered, I let them soak to be sure to get all the crud out of the folds. Patted them dryish, then threw them in the fridge, and headed off to work. They made a delightful side dish with the veggie pizza SodaBoy cooked for dinner. I sauteed them in butter with a clove of garlic and a few splashes of white wine, throwing in some fresh spinach to wilt shortly before serving. There are no photos in situ, due to the rain, and no photos of the final dish, due to the hunger.
You'll just have to take my word for it: these babies were tasty.

I'll have to take your word for it--they don't look so appetizing as they appear in the bowl! But I've never had morels like that before...
Aliki, I had never made them for SodaBoy before, and he was skeptical, too, but a sworn convert now. Morels grow on you fast once you start eating.
Wait, what are they? And what do you do for a living?
OH, lucky you! I haven't seen any of them here, but at my old home town, I used to love to collect and eat them. MMMMMM I will couch for their tastiness.
around here, they may already begone, because the oak leaves are bigger than a squirrel's ear I am pretty sure. Or maybe here they have a different way of telling when to look than we had in Old Hometown!
LOL, Aliki, I was thinking how gorgeous they were all piled in the bowl. I've never collected morels myself. I usually stick to shaggy manes and puffballs.
I will take your word for it. They sound fabulous!
I keep coming back to look at this picture and I can’t believe you are going to EAT them. They look more like you are ready to wash your car. Try a cheeseburger. They are much more tasty and easier to look at.
Blackenedboy, morels are highly prized wild mushrooms. Once you find some, they are easy to identify and hard to mix up with anything dangerous. I work in environmental consulting, which takes me out in the woods a bit--four days this week.
Coffeypot, I might concede they look a wee bit like brains, but wash my car? Why would I do that?
I thought they looked more like sponges.
Laughing here, I also thought of sponges! I'm not a big mushroom fan and know I'm surely missing out!
Once, I spent a week looking for a tick that my son had casually flicked off himself when he found it! I actually did find it...you were lucky it didn't visit long!!
