Mushroom Monday - Great Harvest of Great Morels

in Fungi Lovers3 years ago

Yesterday, on Easter, while my wife and my parents were barbecuing over the fire,I ran through my morel places!

Initially, I planned to collect Morchella steppicola(which I will post on #fungifriday), but in the field I found that people had already collected everything, leaving only empty holes from the mushrooms ...
But when I approached the forest, I immediately noticed the forest morels sticking out high)

A lot of morels grew in pairs ...

Some were fused at the bottom, while others were severed at the bottom and had one hat at the top.

Some specimens were just beginning their life path,

others have grown to enormous sizes and bent under their own weight ...

Some broke, making their way through foliage and grass ...

By the way, this mushroom is very fragile, and you need to harvest and transport it very carefully!

Although morels came across to me only in one place, on an area of 3 by 3 square meters,

I have harvested more than 60 pieces!

I was very pleased with my walk, and today I cooked these mushrooms ... By the way, while I am writing this post, the morel dish is just cooling down)

I hope my friends @qwerrie and @sketch.and.jam will like this post, as they were really looking forward to the post about morels!)

Well, that's all for today, thanks for visiting my post, I hope you enjoyed it and I look forward to your support!)
Take care of yourself and your loved ones and see you soon!

Sort:  

These are the kind I find around here (when it actually rains). We call them half free morels.

Why exactly this name?

Because the cap is half detatched from the stem unlike on most morels where the cap blends into the stem.

Now it is clear)
We have this type, the most common ...

Next year I may have to reserve a cabin here to not miss the season

Very nice place! I wish you good luck, but let's hope that this year will still please us with good mushrooms)

Maybe I'll get a ton of summer chanterelles instead.

I wish you biggest luck with that, getting your macros of this beauty would be very, very handy.

so cool i am not that into mushrooms but these ones look awesome!

Yes, they are very cool and photogenic)

wow, wow wow!!!!! I am happy to see this beauty.
If I could vote for your post twice, i would do it.
@ewkaw, come here to see this and share with me some white jealousy :))
ps.
what about using the #dna #foraging #naturalmedicine #amazingnature tags instead of #gems #ocd #photographylovers?..

Thanks a lot!
And thanks for the new hashtags, I'll take it into account next time)

#foraging is self-explanatory, #naturalmedicine is crossing with another related community/subject field.
oh and theres also another great tag I forgot to mention #ecotrain - hard to put precisely what it is about.. it embraces a lot of subject actually, concerning the new ways of living - off the natural resources, in harmony with the nature etc - covers everything from nature, permaculture, environment, earth building, spirituality, alternative ways of living and Being and basically anything that relates to changed interactions with one another and Mother Earth. New paradigm stuff. :) It's a manually curated tag so the % upvote relates to quality of the post, and there's nothing else expected.

and maybe the last point and the most important for me personally. if you like what community is about, please, consider adding FL community into beneficiaries of your posts in the Future. 10% shared of your post rewards is not too much - but very sufficient if all of us will be doing so. a good way to go. lets grow together!

Thanks for the next piece of information, I'll take all these tags into account!
