For the first time since we married we are having somewhat perfect conditions for white morels, right after the black morel season. The trick is the timing and to beat other mushroom hunters to the right spots. No picture... but Joe one day picked a tall cup full of white morels from his customer's front yard. Then we started to see local mushrooms sold on Craig's List. So last weekend we went along with Joe's dad for our four-hour grand, though turned out to be mis-, adventure. We could have bought a pound of white morels for $30 at the stand, but we really wanted to pick ourselves. We did (not me, I still don't have an eye for white morels) pick a handful of mushrooms and lots of wild leeks. And we ended up finding a cool spring-fed waterfalls as in pictures.Marsh marigold was in full bloom everywhere, too.
After all it was a fun beginning of summer kind of outing, very appropriate for the Memorial Day weekend. Yes, black flies started to bother us once the temperature went up.
