My parents went walking in a park and they found lily of the valley flowers.
Mom took some for herself and took some to me.
When she came to drop them off she showed me a mushroom she found on her walk.
It was a morel.
I once saw dried morels in Whole Foods Market selling for $299/lb.
I am not sure how much fresh morels cost but they must be expensive if the dried ones cost that much.
I haven't seen them for sale anywhere from what I remember.
I wanna go to that park Wednesday and see if I can spot any morels.
It's the season for them.

The mushrooms do grow in our rural home at a specific time of the year. So we never buy. We could eat once a year or two years

Just be careful and be sure it's a morel if you decide to pick and eat some.

@LindaOHio I doubt that will happen. And hubby told me that Sunday is Mother's Day.

Just be careful that it is a morel Lena.
They are expensive.

I wanna go with hubby. Otherwise it will be a long commute to go via public transportation.
The mushroom she found was definitely a morel. I doubt there is a mushroom that looks like it but is something else.

Oh Lena there are lots of poisonous mushrooms and toadstools which we need to avoid
But you will know more about them than me
I am sure your Morel will be fine
