Right along the bike path just a few feet from our property line I plucked these rare morel mushrooms. I've been watching this spot for a while now; last year I happened upon about 15 morels here while taking the goats out for a bit of browse. This year, I only found 3.
As a child, I remember each spring my Uncle Paul would take his seven kids to the woods to hunt for morel mushrooms. A time or two I tagged along. I found this a bizzare, yet interesting and exciting adventure. This memory jumped to the front of my brain when I spotted these just last spring in my own back yard.
