Mushroom
Mania: Edible Delights Await In Michigan |
|
Life is full of surprises. On the table when we enter the lodge is a number of samples of edible mushrooms of all shapes and sizes. Something I didn’t know until my husband and I are watching an informative video along with the group of eager mushroom hunters is how there are many edible mushrooms to find.
My hopes rise when my husband, Leroy pulls me back. I look down to find I almost stepped on a mushroom. Several other mushroom hunters hurry over to get a glimpse of our catch. We wonder if it’s a Paxillus atrotomentosus or Tricholoma vaccinum that’s edible, but not a popular choice. Our guide Larry suggests slipping what we find into our basket so we can take them back to the lodge where he’ll help us identify the mushrooms that are safe to eat.
 We found one, then another, and now a dozen more between us. The mushrooms seem to be popping up everywhere suddenly. My brother-in-law, Walt shares his harvest of Morel mushrooms with us each spring. He has forty years worth of experience paying close attention to the wooded settings in Indiana to hunt Morel Mushrooms, Morchella conica. We can’t wait to return to the Springbrook
Hills Resort at Walloon Lake in the spring for the Morels & More Weekend
Outings.
