Weapon X Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Does anyone know how much they go for? My buddy says his cottage property has a mother lode of them and seems to think he can make thousands of dollars. I highly disagree, but can't find anything to back his claim up, nor mine.

publicenemyno.3 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 last year i was paying 20 bucks a pound for them. i haven't seen them around yet which is odd because the season should've already passed here. if you can find a local grocer who will buy them from you it could be lucrative.

Realism Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Assuming they're the edible and not the poisonous variety. Make sure to tell him to check that out if he hasn't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're legit. I know many people who work in kitchens so I'll ask them if their business is interested. I read that some state in USA banned selling them to restaurants, which I find odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I mean anything can be lucrative if you have enough of it. What are we talking about? an acre of morels? Yeah go for it.. If its not going to yield you more than a few hundred bucks I wouldn't bother. Give them to friends that like to cook. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090503145456AAN0gvH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them to friends that like to cook. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090503145456AAN0gvH What's unfortunate is that this guy is hands down the WORST cook I know, but he truly, honestly believes he is a skilled gourmet chef. He is completely detached from reality so he makes up his own. He thinks he is the best baseball player, though he only played softball until he was twelve. That is just one example of an infinite number. I'm talking his food is usually inedible. So I guess these mushrooms are going to get wasted, big time. I'll see if he took pictures of this "mother lode". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POINTFIVE Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 GOT SLAVES PICKING PSILOCYBIN AZURESCENS FLUSHES FOR DAYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavaruawon Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 They're selling for about $25.00 per lb in Oregon this past year. I have a friend who sells these to a couple of resturaunts and farmer's markets. These are just culinary fungus. A good and tasty one at that, no psilocybin. Make sure they aren't False Morels. Like most good edible fungi, there are several different look-alikes that are poisonous. True Morel's have a hollow stem. Protip. Edit: That $25/lb is for wet, not dried mushrooms.

itsallafarce Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Morels are dope at the beginning of the season they were goin for 50 per# im sure they have dropped by now though. One of my favorite shrooms for sure. So good sauteed with ramps ,garlic and spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish meatloaf Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 i can remember being younger, and i was with my moms at some morel mushroom block party/festival with tons of street vendors with tables full of various fungi. the air was filled with stink. rural minnesota somewhere. years after that i wondered if psilocybins were also being sold there. to this day i have still not tasted one... meh.

publicenemyno.3 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 i just found out that the season here has already passed and apparently it wasn't a very good one for morels due to the cold weather here in the midwest. my neighborhood grocer said he might get some from the northwest but they aren't as tasty.

Weapon X Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well, the ones I had are from Northern Ontario and I believe they're in season for a week or two more. They tasted fantastic. Extremely earthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsallafarce Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I need to start foraging. And how the mid wests morels taste better than the nw's i find that hard to believe seeing as we have the perfect climate for them. But ive never had a mw morel so i wouldnt know. Yes biased.
