Now would be a good time to look for Morels!

Morchella semilibera
A true morel – edible, choice; #385 on page 325 of Mushrooms of North America by Orson K. Miller, Jr.

The first Morels I came across this season occurred this morning while visiting a preserve in the Town of Clifton Park. And, with the forecast for more rain followed by warmer days early next week, I suspect they’ll be popping up in many places!

So, if you’d like to sample this delicacy, you’d better stretch your legs and forage in a woods near you soon. Good luck!

If you’d like to try a cream of mushroom soup recipe (or some of the other recipes listed), please view a prior posting of mine regarding Morel mushrooms.

Happy foraging!
