What's worse is when the cops confiscated all of the plants for the trial, the dumb asses didn't store them properly so everything rotted and went to waste! They ended up using photos for the trial and I got nothing but a lame ass "sorry" from the cops.

I'm so angry as it is I can't fall asleep even though I'm blind with fatigue.
This proves to me what I've long suspected. There are real idiots out there, Gandalf. Some of them are on our side.

Sorry about upsetting you. I'm tired as hell my self but can't fall asleep, suffer from sever insomnia. Burning a big ass joint right now in hopes that I can fall asleep sometime soon. Haven't slept for more than 30 minutes in the past 4 days. If I don't get any sleep tonight I'll have to resort to pills tomorrow night which I hate to do because they make me very irritable the next day and I'll hardly be able to stand myself let alone anybody else.

Around 5 years ago, my best friend's mom made kimchi out of field garlic
It was good!

Morels sure like to pop up in the weirdest of places. This is the fifth time these morels have popped up in my artichoke patch this year.

Sweet. Check the pH.

I'll try to find a cheap pH meter and test the soil around my patches once the time comes
Any idea where to get one (aside from ebay)

Any garden supply store should have one. I think the few of us that are planning on doing serious hunting should get one. They're pretty cheap. That way we can compare notes. I have two that I use. Both are aluminum probes. One is a single probe and the other is double.

I don't know but I assume the meter with dual prongs have something to do with polarity. I rarely get dissimiliar readings though. When I check with single prong, I check with the other. Just habit. You should definitely get one if you don't have one already. I am very interested in your readings.

If you have a Lowe's store nearby you can pick up a decent ph meter for under $10. I had one that measured light, moisture and ph levels. It worked pretty good up until I forgot that I had it in spot that I was testing the light levels at and I ran it over with my mower. It got slung so hard that it impelled itself in one of my apple trees. Note to self: be sure to mark the area next time with a flag.

I'm sure if you researched taxonomy papers at Google Books you'd find all the information about Morels that your hearts desire.
They have great books there.

Yes, I've read some of it. As far as I know, Morchella taxonomy is messy at best. Kuo, from Mushroomexpert.com, recently published Morchella tomentosa. This is one mushroom I am more interested in finding than identifying. I actually eat these.

Nice link but Kuo doesn't know everything.

Look up last year's finds. There's probably one near you.

a note many people use onion bags to collect morels, a basket perhaps, supposedly the spores fall(not from a fresh morel), sure there may be tiny pieces of mushrooms falling may spread the growth, i personally think its all rubbish. the onion bags tear up your mushrooms, and if your hiking at a nice pace your mushies will mush from getting banged around. i use small paper bags, for several reasons-contamination from dirt, bugs, etc- damage -moisture levels-easier to keep air circulated-easier to handle in mass amounts while keeping nice fresh mushrooms. now, what about trying to spread growth? well the best way to give back is to take a buggy, bad mushroom, or you just may choose to sacrifice your best to the gods. take a fresh mushroom that hasn't "puffed" its spores yet and hang that guy as high as you can in a tree. with a stone on a thread over a limb, or if you climb, whatever just as high as you can. mushrooms drop spores near the ground, most of their spores dont make it far, the advantage of height gets the spores into the wind to spread growth....
