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!!!!!.

great find! i know that other folks soak them in salt water for awhile, i'm sure there is more to it, or other ways of prepping them. i like a few each spring, then i'm done. i like the taste of them, just too many and i'd be in the potty alot!

Lucky you. Nice find. Haven't had any in years. Mom would soak them but don't know if salted or not. She would cook them in a cream sauce. Far better than any breaded deep fry recipe

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.

Some one gave me some last year and they mentioned the 'breaded' technique... but the cream gravy idea sounds better. I like mushrooms of any kind.
