http://thegreatmorel.com/   below are some photos of Morels we picked on the Shore of Oneida Lake. They stay in season for a very short period of time, and taste great when eaten freshly picked,(Dont eat them raw) Morels dont taste like any mushroom you have had before. There are clubs around the US devoted to hunting these elusive delicacies every spring.  We Love them battered in flour and fried with butter, also a recipe stuffed with sausage and cheese is wonderful. If you are lucky enough to find a patch of them , leave a few behind so they will spore, and grow more next year.
