huskerbowhunter · 05-13-2008, 02:39 PM

thats a nice schroom

huskerbowhunter · 05-13-2008, 02:52 PM

Heres my biggest one that I found on Sunday. There were several this size, but most of them were rotten or the stems weren't big enough to support them and they fell off and dried up. This one would have been a lot taller, but it was growing on the underside of a log. It weighed .75 of a lb. on a digital scale by itself. I think most of the weight was the stem.

What a LUNKER!! Great Find!

cougarw · 05-13-2008, 08:35 PM

That thing is huge!!!! I've never found one like that before. By the way, that's an $8.50 mushroom.

Maybe I can't see it very well, but that looks less like a morel than one of the gyomitras - the "false morels." If it's really a morel, though, WOW!

huskerbowhunter · 05-14-2008, 03:18 PM

canoe...im pretty sure its a morel, but it had some sort of white mold growing on the top of it...Im not 100 percent sure on the differences of the two mushrooms though..I didn't get to eat it anyways because right after the picture I dropped it on the floor and it split into 100s of pieces..lol

**CanoeGuru** · 05-14-2008, 06:12 PM

Was it hollow? A true morel will always be completely hollow, while the false ones will have stuff inside.

huskerbowhunter · 05-14-2008, 11:21 PM

Ya the mushroom was completely hollow, but the stem was solid and weighed quite a bit. Any one know if the stem would taste the same as the top on something that big. I always eat the smaller stems, but I wasn't sure on this one.

wildernesswomen · 05-14-2008, 11:29 PM

It all eats

**Mako** · 05-15-2008, 03:10 PM

Hmm.... have you ever been an actor?

You look a lot like that guy on BIG. Josh when he was younger.

TheDean · 05-15-2008, 05:11 PM

WOW! Shrooms on steroids!!!

**CanoeGuru** · 05-15-2008, 06:49 PM

True morels are completely hollow through the stem and the cap. The cap is attached all the way around, too. If you cut one in half lengthwise, there will be one continuous line up the stem, around the cap, and down the other side of the stem. If the stem isn't hollow and/or if the cap isn't completely attached to the stem, don't eat it.

Some people have managed to eat false morels without knowing it and didn't get sick. Others have eaten them and died before they could get to a hospital. The problem is, you don't know if you're one who will get sick, or worse, until you eat one. Then it's too late.

There's a picture of a false "morel" that looks just like the one you're holding in Michael Kuo's book Morels. Check it out.
