 too bad I forgot to take my camera out hunting with me.
Who has sampled these? Any recipe suggestions would be appreciated. They smell a lot like morels, I suppose I could use them in the same type dishes?
Time to go clean these things...

Keep in mind the likely presence of gyromitrin in these and the need for proper preparation.

I don't think I would eat any species of Gyromitra. But if you do decide to cook them, don't breath in the steam or vapors. Funny, in my field guide, Gyromitra gigas is listed as Gyromitra montana
-------------------- Having lived through an existence close to nature, one accepts the small and simple things as most important in life. Sun, wind, rain and snow. The sounds birds make, smells of fresh wild flowers. Love of all kinds, from friends and family, thy self and our neighbors. Beautiful sunrises to the darkest clouds dancing above in the sky. To forgive, learn, share and express. This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

gigas is supposed to be less toxic than most of the rest. I've been told by a large number of Finns (and also by Alan) that gyromitra are completely delicious. As sketchy as it strikes me to eat em, tons of people do successfully do so.

I have tried a very small portion, and it was very delicious. I just personally wouldn't chow down like 4-5 mushrooms.
