Title: Mushroom Hunting....
Post by: Timmay on April 16, 2009, 11:54:19 AM
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

 :/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!

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.

My gradparents had morels growing the woods behind their home in Southern Oregon.
They were outstanding. I loved them, even as a kid.

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.

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."

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.!!!
