What a nice haul you've got there. I NEED to go check my patch after all of this rain, but have to find someone to keep the kids first. I could take them otherwise if the ticks weren't so bad now.
No, I thought and worried myself sick. The mind can do that -- or mine can. Not really anything to do with the mushrooms themselves. Still, I spent one terrible afternoon when I thought I was dying from a poisonous mushroom until I told DH I needed to go to the hospital and he laughed at me.They can make you sick to your stomach if they are undercooked. There is also a poisonous false morel that looks similar from the outside, but it is not completely hollow inside, so you can tell for sure by cutting them in half.
They do look absolutely delectable
DH and DS looked a week ago. Then we had a few warm days followed by some cold and wet. As soon as it warms up they we go out again. Fingers crossed. Those look so good.
There's some nice leaf lettuce in there and what's in the garden doesn't amount to anything yet. Plenty of purple orache to go with the lettuce, tho. Might be tempted to harvest some green shallots . . . and, why not?!
