Well, to answer your question, I ha e to ask you one.
do you guys have any Elm trees tht grow in your neck of da woods?
Here are some beauts.
I just checked and the USA east of the Big Muddy is elm country ... grew up in MD where Dad took me mushroom hunting as a pup. never found morels. But chanterelles? Oh yes. My abso favorite mushroom (not counting yeast, my Spirit Animal) ... but I have not tasted a morel.
Chanterelles, boletes and the odd weird one ended up in the home bag. I quickly learned to recognize
Amanita virosa (the Destroying Angel) and the various showy but emetic
Russula species. I looked always for a
Stropharia/Psilocybe and never saw a one.
A former boss was a mushroom hunter (old Swiss guy) and he told me that morels and truffles can be cultured, but nobody has managed to culture
Cantharellus. Shame; they are glorious slow-cooked in butter.
