      I want to go morel hunting. I'm just afraid of picking to wrong mushrooms. They have a pretty distinctive look. Are there any others that look like them.What's the best way to cook them? Thanks

        They are pretty distinct from any other mushroom that is out there. There is only one that can really be mistaken and its called a false morel. A true morel has an empty core when you cut it in half long ways and a false morel will be solid inside. There's different variations of morels so easiest way is to just pick em and then check out the inside to see if its hollow.

          Cut them in half long ways so you have two equal halves, soak them in salt water for a few hours to kill and removed the bugs found in the pits of the mushroom, dip them in egg, cover them with a light coat of flour (we also added a little cornmeal and some spices, and then fry those babies up! Sure is some good eating

                Darn I love those!!
                Was on a hunt once in west Texas and at the time a good friend back in San Antone was a chef. He made us a moral mushroom sauce and said filet open a back strap then pour the sauce in and wrap it in foil. Put on fire for 4 hours. Best eats ever!!!!

                  Are they found throughout Texas or just certain areas? I'm close to the coast. I assume there should be plenty. Guess I just have to go looking around. Thanks for the info.

                        dang!!! I was hoping Texas had them...oh well.

                        It got so bad in Montana one year. You better be armed when gathering them. At 300.00 a pound when you had a bag full it was like having gold!! sure love the taste of them....

                            Wish Texas would so we could've had them too. I always asked my grandma to save me some but she always said that they didn't save too well (not sure if she was just making that up cuz they wanted to eat them) but now that I'm living up here, time to get some honey holes down for the time that I'm up here. And yes they sure are some tasty suckers

                              a good burn(forest fires) always seems to bring them out.
