Morels R Us


One other interesting bit of information. This is Morel mushroom season, for those of you who don't know that. Matt's buddy, Duane, introduced us to morel hunting a few years ago, but to be honest we've never really done very well and I just decided this year not to go.

So, Matt went out with Duane to one of the usual stomping...uh, treading lightly....grounds on public land in Maryland.....and they came back with 4lbs of morels. Each. Whoa.

So, Matt and I went back out a few days later, and came back with another 2lbs.

Keep in mind that when we were at Wegman's a couple days earlier, morels were going for $59/lb.

And Matt and Duane went back out and got another couple lbs each. So, this has been a really REALLY good year for morels.
