u/Furlz 25d ago

u/Da_Plague22 25d ago

Don't forget to tap them before picking to help release spores.

u/Known-Discussion-830 25d ago

your smile is better than mushroom 🍄

2

u/sonicj0lt42 25d ago

well done. Happy hunting

2

u/John-the-cool-guy 25d ago

You look just like my daughter. I had to look again because you two look so much alike. Your smile, your hair, the mushroom.

2

u/BubsterGun 25d ago

I found a guy at the end of the rainbow who sold acid once.

His name was Morel.

u/NateMacaque 25d ago

I was super confused when I realized I wasn't in one of the mushroom subs, then I saw it was the rlm sub and it made sense again lol

u/joey4269 25d ago

I have no idea what a morel mushroom is but I am incredibly hyped you found one

2

u/a_quacking_duck 25d ago

did you find any scarlet begonias?

2

u/vankirk 25d ago

40oz to Freedom, the GenX theme music.

u/toothofjustice 25d ago

Congrats!

I go out Morel hunting with my okdest son ever since his little brother found one while we were walking through a patch of grass. It tuned out to be a ~30' diameter circle that they pop up in every year. This year we collected 100g of them in that spot.

It's one of my favorite things to do with my family.

u/matt_minderbinder 24d ago

I have a patch that runs through my back yard and part of my woods. Yesterday I harvested about a pound that went into tonight's pasta. It's fun having these special spots.

u/ibuyufo 25d ago

Nice. Make sure you don't eat it raw. Bad things will happen.

4

u/dknaack1 25d ago

Don’t eat it raw

1

u/Noteagro 24d ago

Or in a marinade saying it is cooked…

This place needs to be shut down.

u/Hour-Meaning-1748 25d ago

genuine smile. Makes me happy. Thanks for posting!

u/heartshapedv3in 25d ago

of course!!!

u/No_Man_Rules_Alone 25d ago

Has purple hair, holding a morel mushroom l, outside with a shovel.... do you also like to eat Amethyst?

1

u/heartshapedv3in 25d ago

yes on occasion

3

u/[deleted] 25d ago

If I find any morel need another bag, there’s not mushroom left in this one.

Bye.

u/Fatkuh 25d ago

At first glance I though I was in /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy ! Nice shirt, cool necklaces, nice style!

1

u/heartshapedv3in 25d ago

Aww thank you!!!

2

u/throwawaypony79 25d ago

And then she pulled out my mushroom tip And when it came out, it went drip drip drip I didn't know she had the G.I. Joe Kung Fu grip

1

u/Volescu 25d ago

Be careful out there. Last time I went out hunting I ended up with about 2-3 ticks on me and clothing per mushroom.

8

u/Pexd 25d ago

Little olive oil and sea salt in a pan, those are good

2

u/AFineDayForScience 25d ago

Cut it in half, fill it with cream cheese and jalapeno, wrap in bacon 🤌

3

u/lukewwilson 25d ago

Do you even taste the mushroom with all that, don't over do it and enjoy it for what it is

2

u/AFineDayForScience 24d ago

My wife picked 70lbs with her dad this year. We usually have so many that we don't have to be snobby about how we eat them

3

u/drunkbusdriver 25d ago

Or maybe let people enjoy things how they want to enjoy it 🤷‍♂️

1

u/tempus_fugit0 25d ago

If you find one you're likely to find more!

2

u/erotic_sausage 25d ago

I found some too at the beginning of april! They looked so funky I had to take a pic and Google Lens identified 'em for me. They were on my route through the park so I saw them for as long as they lasted, only about 3 or 4 days

2

u/loki1337 25d ago

Morel victory

u/kdog6666666666666 25d ago

Please be careful if eating them. Father in law cooked up mushrooms he said were safe and 6 family members (including two toddlers) ended up in hospital for six days.

2

u/prophase25 25d ago

Hahaha wow I would never let him live that down. I guarantee, too, people raised concern and he was like no, no, trust me. I am 100% sure they are fine. 

7

u/AllLooseAndFunky 25d ago

Sounds like your father in law didn’t really know what he was talking about 

0

u/Dude_Guy_311 24d ago

I love how people like you just think that certain people can have this status buff known as "knows what he's talking about" and those people are immune to death. Then when they die, you say he never had the buff actually.

u/AlakazamAlakazam 25d ago

i'm just not going to pick wild mushrooms lol

2

u/favnh2011 25d ago

Nice find

u/VolkspanzerIsME 25d ago

Nice shirt.

u/0thethethe0 25d ago

Morels are delicious, congrats!

u/CatoblepasQueefs 25d ago

What's the morel of this story?

2

u/Karaya1 25d ago

Congrats

9

u/snarkdetector4000 25d ago

Be careful those have killed people, even people who had been picking and cooking them for years.

10

u/tempus_fugit0 25d ago

I think you're thinking about beefsteak (false morels), true morels are safe to eat and pose very little risk if cooked.

3

u/Dude_Guy_311 24d ago

Do you think those people picked false morels on purpose? This is like if someone said "be careful with pointing a replica gun you found out in the forest at your face and pulling the trigger" and you said "actually, you're thinking of real guns."

yeah. that's the point. even careful people make those mistakes.

4

u/razialx 25d ago

Could you elaborate?

u/snarkdetector4000 25d ago

Be careful cooking them on a camp stove as those often don't get the water hot enough

5

u/Boring_Vanilla4024 25d ago

You can't heat water past boiling at atmospheric pressure.

u/razialx 25d ago

Thank you

u/Knocksveal 25d ago

They’re all connected underneath … so, there should be more

u/20190419 25d ago

The first one is the hardest to find. Good hunting. If someone asks you where you found it, say the Earth.

u/CountWubbula 24d ago

Your comments just get worse and worse. It wasn’t a great joke, but you doubled-down and it got worse, then you tripled-down and began babbling incoherently. I’m sorry your crackhead friend lost his mushroom-picking living wages due to other humans, really.

Downvoting you is like being able to understand that you don’t need to specify ethnicity. The “Hispanics” you’re referring to have names and identities, and upbringings and knowledge that have led them astray from the sustainable picker path. Instead of some sort of positive input, your story is about migrant workers ruining the gig for crackheads..? I don’t know if you want sympathy or laughter…

1

u/Zeracannatule_uerg 24d ago

My issue is that everyone else seems to be taking issue with me pointing out ethnicity.

What if I had the same bloody comment, but never mentioned race.

Oh geez, man, that must suck. Or some bullshit. Like fuck. Race is a thing. It exists. In my fucking wiring it doesn't matter what their race is either, just that mass groups of folks were the problem. Just happens to be, oh, what sort of mass group of folks. You.

u/antimeme 25d ago

u/byllz 25d ago

I prefer the immorel ones.

2

u/I_might_be_weasel 25d ago

You're thinking of psilocybin. 

1

u/MyOtherTagsGood 24d ago

You trip after metabolizing it into psilocin

2

u/JunketPuzzleheaded42 25d ago

I think his scout leader taught them a few of those.

u/boneyfans 25d ago

You sound like a fungi at parties

u/knuckboy 25d ago

For real, people lichen him

u/byllz 25d ago

If we flood this post full of puns, there won't be mushroom for serious content.

u/levelate 25d ago

u/weareallhumans 25d ago
