I never thought of that! Thanks, we got about 10# yesterday and left as many if not more. The kids got sick of pickingSmoke them and then freeze.
Really good in soups and sauces!
Haven't been out yet but have never found anywhere around woodburn area. I have found them along 84 and over by ukiah in the past. Born and raised in northern Wisconsin and really miss my honey holes. We would flash fry them (flour salt pepper in a bag then fry in butter) then freeze on cookie sheets and vacuum seal. I could/can eat them til I can't eat no more. Currently working in prineville and see some good looking spots above Idanha going to try to stop on my way back ThursdayAnyone else finding morels yet? Our spring is definitely late but I found a pile yesterday. Headed back out Monday to get more for dinner. Any tips on preserving the besides drying?View attachment 1410181
You'll never see them grow there again either. It sucks that clear cuts or tree removal is only good for 1 seasonfound a crop right in our front yard a week or so ago, we had taken out a laurel hedge last summer and they were growing there. we had never seen any there before, we picked about 3 pounds!

Are you picking among the indigenous oaks and vine maple scrub that grow around the Santiam?I never thought of that! Thanks, we got about 10# yesterday and left as many if not more. The kids got sick of picking
Yes. The mycelium doesn't go away. However, it's recommended that you use a mesh bag when you pick so they drop spores.Do they not grow back if picked?
I've never looked in spots like thatAre you picking among the indigenous oaks and vine maple scrub that grow around the Santiam?
I'll second that. Smoking them with a bit of mesquite is one of my "go to's". Really nice flavor profile without detracting from the natural flavors.Smoke them and then freeze.

I've never seen them in the same place twice. The grasses overtake the clear-cuts and the trees began to growYes. The mycelium doesn't go away. However, it's recommended that you use a mesh bag when you pick so they drop spores.

Interesting. Though I'm not a serious mushroom hunter, I have often found them beneath deciduous trees, most commonly what I call the Oregon white oak (which I understand is not native to Oregon). Pick them and next time you'll find the sprouts in the same general area. Someone once told me it was caused by the pH of decaying oak and the higher CO2.I've never seen them in the same place twice.
