Morels on menu tonight
Saturday's morel forage was bright, brisk and bountiful. About 3
pounds. I'm thinking of a simple scrambled egg/morel/sausage feast tonight. Lots of different mushrooms out. Only two poisonous species seen: Hebeloma crustuliniforme and Gyromitra californica. The latter was probably more problematic as there were occasional small Gyromitra gigas (Snowbank morel) out as well - which I have eaten before and will probably eat again. Also thinking about what to take to Quatro de Mayo celebration at work. Maybe a salsa with morels? Any ideas out there? Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com |

It was her first time and now she is hooked. No, we won't tell you where our secret patch is! :) |

If I were getting $50/pound for morels, I'd take a week off from work
to harvest a hundred pounds or so. I know at least one area producing well right now. But I'd only get about $20/pound _if_ I was selling them, and that would not even pay for the gas to get to them. I'm trying to think what variety "fresh black truffles" might be. The season for T. melanosporum should have ended in late Feb. or March. To have them in May would be extraordinately late. OTOH, maybe they are early T. aestivum (Summer truffles). Summer truffles are _quite_ good to my taste, and I think they are generally under-priced. Especially when compared to the vastly over-priced T. magnatum. Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com |
