I’m impressed the forager took the reporter along anywhere. Probably not to their best/known spots.

A good forager will leave on their scooter and come back an hour or two later with a bucket or two.

But they will never tell anyone where they went. Not their mother, not their father, not their siblings. Maybe their children if they’re about to die. Maybe.

My dad used to take me mushroom hunting for morels here in the US when I was a kid, and this is actually the truth. He would take me on the weekends to the more public spots, and when he didn't have me during the week because I was staying with my mom, he would go to his best spots and I'd come back the next weekend to him having giant bags full of mushrooms.

He died when I was 13 and I know literally 0 of his best mushroom hunting spots.

Man, I'd love a bag of fresh morels right about now. I used to live where they were common, but no longer do. Nothing better than fresh mushrooms.

I have 200 tulip poplars on my property. I have a morel bonanza once a year!

How do you cook them?

It's been years since I've had them, but we always just put a light coating of flour on them and fried them in a pan. Add a little salt and pepper or some paprika and they were delicious.
