Shroom Season

[THE GOB-FATHER]

About when does your's kick off?

Around here in upstate NY we normally see 'em (morels) sproutin up around early May. They say when the mustard plants bloom that's a key indicator of the Morels officially coming up. I'm relatively new to it but love it already! And.... mmm... they sure are tasty! I know it varies from region to region, so when do you get out and start mushroom hunting?

Does anybody have any pics of what these look like and any advice on what type of areas that they like to grow best? I am new to this but, I am a big fan of mushrooms. They are delicious!

Man I have some pics somewhere I will have to do some digging to try and find them. I will see what I can do.

That would be great. I would hate to eat the wrong ones and get sick or start acting gooffy or something! ;D

Here's what they look like BK:













And here's the white flowers who's blooms seem to coincide with the morels coming out.

I can't say that I have ever seen anything like that down here in Louisiana.
