Found 13 smokies today in same area as the previous 40. the ones today were definately alot easier to spot. I think by the first to middle of next week the white ones should be coming up, and it would be a good time to look for them. The rain definately helps more than sun. I had went to a spot a couple years ago and found about 60 on a monday, it rained and stayed cloudy for two days, I went in same spot wednesday and found another 45. I am sure I did not walk over that many two days prior.
Decided to head south in hopes of some grey, white or reds! Went south of Clinton and this is what we found. We also found a few small whites, I mean small. Talked with my cousin and he found 126 whites and they made 1 gallon!

Damn looks good Mark. I have never tried the reds before but sure like the whites and greys. May have to get out and look around. The sun is out and bright right now. May make some pop after the rain we have had.
Looked around my honey hole here in the KC area today and didn't find any yet .
Your killing me Mark.I went today to some new ground and found NADA.Did jump up about 30 turkeys though so thier lifespan just got alittle shorter with that right around the corner
Drove by the spot in GV and only saw turkeys, have not been out walking it yet, I think it is a little early up here. Maybe by the weekend.

Found about 30 greys and a few little whites yesterday.
Never have eaten the greys before, wouldnt think they were much different than the whites.
Not sure I would allow my wife to hike around any secluded area without my being with her. Just too many crazies out there these days. Besides, me and Mr. Ruger make pretty good hiking company.Quote:

There finding them around Sedalia now. Whites an grays. I saw two gallons of them that were found last night. In the grass on the edges of field's.
Ya thanks when she is off by her-self she has her cousin's with her smith/wesson and i surely wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of them she's good. And a friend and three boys the way it sound's so they should be ok but I alway's trust smith/wesson when she's alone.:cheers2Quote:

Was up in Smithville today (not fishing) and saw quite a few trucks on the side of W, looked like deer season but figured they all must be hunting morels. I gave it a try in a couple spots I figured would be solid in KC today but came up empty handed. Will probably look in one more spot tomorrow after the yard work is done.
Found these Sunday in the Nebo MO area. These three reds weighed about fifteen lbs total I bet.

Please let us what you find in a few days. Morel season is my favorite time of the year and I look around Platte County quite a bit and I'm kinda kicking myself right now. I'm heading out on a LOZ fishing trip until next Tuesday and am afraid I'm going to miss the best 4-5 days for morels around KC. I'm definitely going to have fun fishing, but hope the morels are still OK around KC late next week. I'd love to know how it goes over the weekend.Quote:

so....are these "whites" or what?
And...after soaking them do we just sautee them in butter or bread 'em and fry 'em? I've never had them before, but heard a lot of great things.
Im interested in what folks say as well. I've never had mushrooms but very curious. looks like a good mess of mushrooms to me though.
Doing better than I am. I have been out for about 5 hours total the lat two days and think I was lucky if I had a dozen combined between both hunts. Gave to the father-in-law for supper this evening. May have to hit it again next weekend after it cools off some. Hopefully we get a little rain this week and have some better luck.
I don't soak at all, and the best way to cook, IMO, is to coat with an egg wash, dip in cracker crumbs and deep fry for just 3-4 minutes. Just rinse before cooking. Better yet, I'll just cook those up for you if I get to help eat em!!
Joedog, to each their own, I soak awhile and then cut lengthwise in two-- wash the dirt and bugs off them. I either do the egg and flour or milk and flour, season the flour to tast,,,,,,, fry like crappie, I like them crispy, just like my fish fillets. Others like them a bit more rare--- either way works.
I soak them at least over night then egg wash and roll them in finely crushed saltine cracker and fry till brown.
Dang Joe take her fishin!Quote:

Anybody having any luck this week? I've been gone for a few days and haven't had a chance to get out. I'd love to hear any reports from around KC.
I was fishing at LOZ over the weekend and when we went to leave the boat trailer by the cabin, I glanced up in the woods and spotted a couple of morels. Long story short, we picked 80 morels in about 10 minutes .. it was incredible! I went back that evening after fishing and found another 60 or so. Had crappie & morels for dinner last night .. best meal ever!
You know I'd be glad to go back to that cabin werever it was and check again for you this week. Just shoot me a PM on the directions and I'll let you know.:biggrinQuote:

Fry em up buddy and doent listen to Vic I could do a much better job of helping you eat em
This is a good example of a young pup picking on an old dog....this old dog will accept the challenge!!! Now all we need is several pounds of shrooms (for me, anyway!)Quote:

Sad part is that we left as many as we picked because they were to old:Doh:
Beautiful! I got four.......:dono
Forgot to mention hunted about 5 more hours and only found 1/2 sack more. It was a great day, it really was not hunting, all of those came off of an old terrace about 100 yds long. It really was picking and not hunting.Quote:

Nice mess of shrooms there! It's always fun to come across a batch like that. Congrats!
Well got up 4 am headed for Nebraska gotta be some goodun's up there? Well not much, found 3, no not gallons or pounds just three mushrooms. Decided to head for an old honey hole in the middle of Iowa, got there about 4 pm, hit three of the hot spots found 5, yes mushrooms. So summary for the day, 17 hours, 600, miles, 8 mushrooms. Don't even ask for a price per poundbanghead
I recon it is over unless you are headed for Wisconsin, Minnesota, or you just happen to find that one special tree!
they came and went so fast that never got a one this year . Stockton lake area:bash:deadhorse
thats my yearQuote:
