So....do tell!
I married a dandy, that's for sure. I went to hang out with some guys and grill up some meat while Miss Sherie and one of her girlfriends went mushroom hunting for the first time. I've gone a couple times and always came back empty handed so when I got home she got to brag a little.

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.
That's a great mess of mushrooms Joe .. tell your wife I'm jealous!
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!
