Mad About Morels!

Found these after about a half hour of searching after work this afternoon!

Dryad's Saddle

As we slide into the waning of my vacation week, we take a look at another mushroom from my photography collection.  This one is the dryad's saddle, an edible often found on old logs and stumps.  My wife and I enjoy this mushroom, but many others do not care for it.  The edible portion is the cap's edge, the rest of the mushroom, while not poisonous, is way too rubbery to eat. I think its quite good dipped in batter and fried.

Twins

Another mushroom from a couple a years ago, this one is a bolete, a mushroom that has pores instead of gills to disperse its spores.  This one is a bit unusual, these mushrooms usually do not have twin stalks and cojoined caps.

Morel

I'm feeling lazy and out of the news loop while on vacation, so I thought I'd spend the week vomiting up some pictures I've taken over the years, many of which were featured over at the old site. 

One of my hobbies is hunting wild mushrooms.  Today, I'm featuring the mighty morel, a highly sought after edible that in these parts is only found in the spring.
