Mowing the lawn tonight

If finally dried out enough to let me get an afternoon of mowing in. Then about dark I had to quit. Needed about another half hour to finish. I'd have gotten done tonight, but Out by the bee hives I found a half of plastic grocery bag of Morrell mushrooms. I stopped to pick them, had run over a few with the mower. Old gal would a hollered at me if she'd have been around and I had left them. I took them inside and run cold water over them, cleaned the grass out of them, cut the dirty end of the stems off. I put them in 3 big bowls and filled the bowls up with cold water. That's what I remember the old gal doing. Is this how you guys would save them? Mom and Dad had their spots on 4 different farms where they found them. They loved them, I ate them once, but to me they never had any taste. I'll give these to #1 son. #2 son has a bunch in the freezer and #3 son not interested in them. And not 1 bee sting tonight!!!!!.

Mom soaked em in salt water. Don't know how long or how salty. All I remember.

My mother always soaked them in salt water for a few hours and fried in butter. Always seemed good to me. Hard to find around here any more. Maybe too many chemicals in the fields adjacent to our woods? Used to find them there years ago. The only big finds I hear about any more are mostly east of us in the hills where there isn't so much grain farming. Now I'm hungry for morrells.
