Is it possible that I have morel mushrooms growing in my backyard? I've read a half dozen articles about these sought-after 'shrooms in the last few weeks in everything from Newsweek to Time Out to Maxim (hubby clips articles of interest for me).
As far as I can tell these are the only two out there but I haven't really looked closely. I know I have a few readers are mushroom experts (Mushrooms are a client at work) - so can you tell me, is it true? Are these morels?
And if so, what is the best way to prepare them?
Such a fun surprise...

Hiya! It's your fellow mushroom expert (he hee). Well, it certainly looks like a morel. But, we always always always advice people against eating mushrooms from their back yard. It's sort of the same philosophy that my science teacher taught us in High School "hot glass looks like cold glass." Point being, even the wild mushrooms that look legit can be poisonous and are totally not worth the risk. Plus, morel's really aren't one we're as familiar with, so I don't have much confidence. Sorry to be a total downer!! You can do whatever you want, just would hate to think of you being a new mom and getting sick :(. Hope all is well, your posts are TOO CUTE, keep 'em coming.
This page should tell you.
