I couldn’t believe my eyes. Less than three feet away from where I was sitting, growing along the edge of a large tree stump, was the biggest morel mushroom I had ever seen.
About three years ago is when I first discovered the excitement of hunting for morel mushrooms.
It was a cool spring morning when my boyfriend suggested we head into the woods to search for the little morsels.
The idea seemed strange to me at first. Growing up near Chicago, the only time I ever searched for mushrooms was in the produce section of the Jewel-Osco grocery store.
