Walk in the woods

A walk in the woods is rarely wasted time, and today's walk had a bonus.

These will add a bit of spice to a risotto I'm preparing for dinner this evening.

I like a story with a good morel ending.

Wouldh've looked in my woods today, but they were covered with a couple of inches of snow!!!! Hard to see the 'rooms under those conditions.

Beautiful, Alan! (And $22/lb around here when you can find them.)

Carl - I feel your pain. We were snowed in for about 10 weeks. I'm glad it's over.

Those look wonderful, Alan.

I'd walk in the woods today 'cept it's Turkey season. Figgered I'd be a prime target.

Just suppress the gobbles.

Lucky you, Alan. What did you do with them?

Jenise - cooked 'em up in a risotto for dinner yesterday evening. Very tasty.

Coincidentally, Alan, I found these yestreday on the edge of my driveway (!!) where it borders a small wooded area:

A search of the woods, though, turned up no more, alas.

Mark - Are you sure they are morels? They don't quite look it to me. There is a mushroom variety similar to morels that are bad for you and unless you are certain I would seek advice.

Yes, the photo doesn't do them justice, but they're classic (yellow) morels. In fact, the acid test (consumption with no ill effects) occurred last night so not Gyromitra esculenta.
