THIS IS MY 1000TH POST!!!! and what better way to celebrate my 1000th than by finding my FIRST EVER MORELS!!!! i literally JUST found them. i spotted the little one from about 30 feet away. then i saw the big one behind a shrub. theyre growing from the woodchips outside my apartment building! im so excited, the only other ones i found i accidentally ran over with a lawn mower first. not this time! mmm i cant wait. ive never eaten them before. i ran inside so fast to grab the camera. here are the pics i took.
For your viewing pleasure, my first morels... Morchella elata or a close relative:

any tips and/or suggestions on how to serve them?

Are you looking for morel prints, wisco?
I have a few morel spots in my woods that are producing currently and it wouldn't be that hard to take a print from a big one--or a nice dark one from a few big ones.

sooo just finished cooking and eating those morels. man were they tasty! some of the most flavourful mushrooms ive ever eaten. heres what i did.
after soaking them in the fridge in cold salt water for a couple hours, i sliced them into quarters the long way  
then i melted some butter on low heat and sprinkled in a little bit of salt. i tossed in the morels and sprinkled on some pepper. and sauteed them for 10-15 minutes.
i didnt want to taint them with too many other flavours cuz it was my first time. so after they were done i served them with grilled steak and vegetables!  
they were so deliccious. i want more. now. haha. m wife loved the taste but didnt like the texture of them. i loved the whole experience. definately looking foreward to finding more!
