Tony -- I was actually going to post a Mushrooms Anyone thread till I saw yours. I am jealous -- just so you know how dry we've been until  just lately -- I have seen ""O N E "" yellow -- that's it -- ONE.

I was so ashamed I left it hopefully seed the next generation -- albeit 5 years from now as they tell me.

Nice to be in  the weter regions, for sure. We have gotten just enough rain to green things up -- but just try digging a fence post by hand -- I dare ya!!!

Went to the long distance neighbors tonight to borrow a tractore three point post digger -- hoked it uo with great anticipation -- only to see it sit at 4 inches and grind away and go no where. When we pulled it out of the hole -- it was STEAMIMG -- yup -- was too hot to touch!

I have had it -- I think we'll just drive steel in the ground and call it good!

Enjoy those shrooms Tony. I know they don't keep well -- so eat away.

We fry them after a good soaking in salt water to kill the little buggies, best in parkay butter -- when they are about 1/2 cooked, spinkle flour over the wet mix and fry some more till crispy -- love em , can you tell I used to live in Missouri?? hehehe

PS == Used to be a web site called www.morelheaven.com -- haven't tried to go there for a few years, but they used to have GREAT resipes for Morels.

Mom's recipe:  Buttermilk, Egg, Salt $& Pepper and cook  in a very hot oil!  She also makes a Mushroom soup!   Soup that's very good!  Not sure anyone will ever know that recipe!   Very good though!

It's kind of a celebration for us this time of year!  Cows worked,  Calves branded,  crops going in, Springs here  lets fry up some mushrooms get together as family and friends!  A fun event to teach the kids!  It's a hunt that you can show the boy's without spending hundreds at Cabbellas for equipment!

They are great fried in bacon grease!

It been way too dry here, and they're always out about a month ago.  Reading this post I just realized we've had more rain in yesterday and today than in the past 7 months.  6 inches so far and still coming down................so far no severe weather...........well, the wind did get up to 60mph, but that's just a breeze.

Good ole Morels. Wash thoroughly after cuttin in half,roll in flour, then dip in egg wash,then in flour a second time,cook in peanut oil mixed with bacon fat. Always nice to have a gallon or so of Mountain Oysters to cook with them,and some home made CHALK to wash them down with,and homemade Butter Pecan Ice Cream for dessert,yum yum.

You got enough for the whole branding crew tony. If not Amy might have some of that left over french dip from your sale in the freezer.
