Morel Mushrooms | Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail




There seem to be two types of people in the world – those who love mushrooms and those who can live without them. 

For many parts of the country, this is prime Morel hunting season when daytime highs reach into the 60s and evening lows drop into the low 40s. 

It seems a little strange that the men of the Corps didn’t mention mushrooms more than one time in the journals, considering the many cool and moist areas through which they traveled. The only time the fungus is mentioned was on June 19, 1806 when Pierre Cruzatte brought several large Morels to Captain Lewis, who roasted and ate them “without salt pepper or grease.”

If you’re a hunter, we wish you the best of luck. Here are 10 tips to finding the perfect stash of Morels, from the website Wide Open Spaces: http://www.wideopenspaces.com/10-tips-hunting-morel-mushrooms-pics/
