Morel Giveaway

Marx Foods is giving away 2 POUNDS of MORELS!! How can you resist entering?
I'm very eager to see how the morel patch I planted last fall will fare this year. I'm also hoping, praying, and pleading that we'll be moved in and settled so that I can attend the two mushroom festivals in my new stomping grounds in Michigan. First there is the Mesick Mushroom Festival and then the following weekend there is the National Morel Mushroom Festival in Boyne City. Michigan cherries are nice and all but morels are swoon-worthy.

I'm too scared to grow my own mushrooms. What if I end up growing some hybrid that causes sudden death?

DJ Karma said...

I've never tried a morel... deprived!

Nina Timm said...

Growing your own mushrooms...I am impressed!!! I am going to start searching where to find a starting kit here in Cape Town

VeggieGirl: I know, 2 pounds is a lot!

Heather: Some of the poisonous ones are the prettiest. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Laura: I hope you entered.

Nila Rosa: I don't think there is any chance of that with a inoculated log that you buy to grow indoors. Of course outdoors anything could happen.

DJ Karma: They're easiest to find with the dried mushrooms. Fresh ones are much harder to get a hold of.

Nina Timm: I wonder if they have any interesting varieties that we wouldn't have in the states.
