I just came back from shopping for dinner and they had Morels at Farmer Jack. This is not a high end Deli or speciality market.
They were $49.95 a pound.
I have heard they are good and I would like to try them but that is way out of my range for some mushrooms. I wonder if they will sell or go to waste?

The beer and morel association reminds me of long ago when we used to entertain a lot. The chief ingredient to a fantastic dinner is a long cocktail hour(s) and lots of good wine with dinner. A well-planned mix of happy intoxication and encroaching starvation always elicits rave reviews for the meal.
But even stone crab sober, I'll bet that you would love the morels.

If they are showing at the market they are in the woods so I think i will take a good dose of pain meds and take a walk in the oak woods tomorrow. They just ripped a railroad line out near here and I can follow that and take little excursions off without having to ford anywhere.
Free sounds a lot better than $50/lb.
When I lived in Ohio we owned no land and we would go out in the woods like that and scatter vegetable seeds all around the edge of a clearing and come back later and harvest beans and squash. If they are not in rows and cultivated with a path worn to them nobody ever notices them.
