"Grenades"

[sparkles2307]

Um so my kids were blwoing each other up with these last night. Only wrecked about 4 before we caught them. Can we eat the stems? I dont know how to prepare them... I wasnt even TRYING to find Morels and these were CARPETING the front yard!

Hi sparkles

How lucky can you get? Yummy! How are you going to cook them?

Do you live in the woods -- they only grow there for a short season, in the Spring. I'm really envious. You say they are carpeting your front yard. Tell us more.

I dont know how to cook them, never had wild shrooms before. I dont know if we can eat the stems or anything. They are loosley wrapped in a towel in the produce drawer of the fridge for now.

We live in REALLY rural MN. Grandma has been moved out for over a year now and we slacked off on mowing her yard for 2 weeks now. She loves trees so there are Elm and Cottonwoods that are 60+ years old all over, making it like a park. There are no dead trees and the biggest mushrooms were actually growing under the swingset!

I have never felt so lucky EVER this is amazing! I am now really motivated to check out the neighbor's pasture...

Don't freeze them whatever you do! The French & Italians dry them to flavour their food for the rest of the year. They are lovely in a risotto !

Nurture that front yard!

Thanks, I couldnt stop grinning last night. DH doesnt trust me, he was yelling at me to not let the kids see me picking mushrooms (I have already told them that mushrooms will kill them and if they ever see one dont touch it but run to get me) and wont go near the kitchen now that I have them in there. I guess thats more for the rest of us!

I would be grinning ear to ear too!!! That is an amazing find and I'm super jealous being I'm a huge mushroom fan.
