as you all know, here in the midwest everyone around here cant wait until it is mushroom hunting season. This season is a very short time span in finding these lil morals. They make some good eating. I finally had my first batch last night for dinner. People are selling them for around $30 lb. Well worth it if you ask me.
I seen this advertised in our local newspaper this morning. I do not fall for these at all because I know it is one of those money taking schemes. Just wanted to share it with you all

Thank you Timmj O0, I just ordered the truffle flour, it's more flavorful than oil, a little goes a long way. BUT it's hard, very hard to find. I lost my last supply when the hurricane knocked out the power and our freezer defrosted. The flour is very sensitive to moisture and we keep in in the freezer for the dry conditions.
Thanks again,
Saintc

I get the strangest feeling that my leg is being jerked.
-
:/O :/O :/O
What am I missing, this looks legit--I even ordered. Morels don't grow every place, and the mushroom hunting business requires some really extensive knowledge or you can get pretty sick, possibly die.
-
Growing up being flanked by two farms and several acres of our own fields, I know all about mushroom hunting, good luck Timmy.
There is a local farmers market place here that sells spore plugs, you take a long and drill a couple dozen holes in it, then put in these plugs and you can grow nearly any type of mushroom you want. They work!
-
so you can really grow these? I just figured they were the work of nature

Timmj:
Did they teach biology at your high school? Are you in one of those states that advocate some other system for teaching sciences? :/O Or were you always cutting class? My vote is #3.
-
we are talking mushroom mushrooms right? haha. as in the kind youd eat on pizza? lol. for some reason i cant tell with you timm lol.
-
My gradparents had morels growing the woods behind their home in Southern Oregon.
They were outstanding. I loved them, even as a kid.
-
I'm going to have to get some Truffle Oil when I get a job.
-
no i am talking about the wild morals. Not the button mushrooms you find on pizza. I just never knew there were seedlings ( spores) for this type of mushroom. I will post a pic of what I am talking about.
-
This is the type of mushroom I did not know that you could grow purposely. I just figured that it took certain soil, weather and other stuff to be able to grow these. here is a pic

Yes I know there are mushroom farms for many different varieties of mushrooms, but what I am saying is that if you could grow this type of morel mushroom then why arent there more people growing them and not just relying on going out to the woods in teh spring to find them.
I hope you all do not think that I didnt know they could grow mushrooms. ..im not that stupid. Thanks
-
If it were that easy, one of the most abundant places for morel mushrooms such as these, do you not think that everyone would be growing them? And why would it take a company from California to figure it out. What I am saying is, that buying the kit would be a waste of time. If it were successful, ...oh well never mind.
-
Timmy the Mushroom King!!!! I think you found your calling. Forget the kit. Do your own research, buy (or lease) some land , and start farmin mushrooms dude.
-
anyone can start a mushroom farm...but not a morel farm. It has already been proven.
-
Morels do taste good!
-
Damn right they taste good. Best freakin mushroom out there...
-
So then I take it that the MOREL of this story would be..................... ;D
-
You cant grow Morels in your back yard intentionally, so get your lazy butts up and go out there and look for em
-
You can really get a work out going to Whole Foods and getting a pound. That's the best place to find them here in the Crescent City. They're even picked. Or as the late, great Mae West put it, "Beulah, peel me a grape."
>:D >:D >:D >:D >:D
-
Or, as mae West never said: 'Is that a mushroom in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me??" >:D ;D
Not MAGIC mushrooms, are they Timm??! :D
-
Not being into mushrooms I never knew it was all that involved. Amazing.
-

I thought of a few words to describe the blanket.....epic wasn't one of them (then again, I have a pretty limited vocabulary).
-
Hey now...you leave my pink blanket alone. LOL Actually it was the closest thing to me when I took my nap...lol Thanks to the daughter for taking the pic.
Come on Schro...give it a shot. Lets hear 'em...
-
OMG, he has a binky.

That's the first thing I thought of..
These must be really good mushrooms

Hey, I have a friend up heah in Maine that grows shittake muchrooms as a side business. Last year he grossed $32,000!!! His profit for one year was $26,000!!! That's pretty good money to us ol' Mainers!It can be done for pretty cheap money. He has 6 or 8 logs that about 20 feet long and he splits them down the middle, drills all the wholes and puts some spores (which he saved from the year before) in each of the wholes and that's about it. Keeping the them properly etc. adds up but as I said he makes a fortune. Days he's a chef and pulls in another 25 grand a year!! Oh and of course he deducts all he can and ALWAYS makes sure to pay the tax man!!I mean if the brotherhood got together we could make millions, feed the world end wars etc.!!!

-
I have skimmed thru this thread, and even I am confused. Are these mushrooms that I can cook and like put in rice or a stir fry, or mushrooms that will make me halusinate (magic mushrooms)???????????????????????????
-
These are the kind you eat. But if you eat the wrong one's you might get a little wacky
