Morels are perhaps Michigan's tastiest mushrooms, as most mushroom lovers will agree.
Morels can be found in most regions of the United States, but the Great Lakes region seems to be ideal – making Michigan, with its Great Lakes surrounding, quite the hot spot.Morels are most often found in the woods; and in Michigan, the peak season is typically May, depending on the weather.
Never been mushroom hunting? Be sure to take an experienced hunter along. Some wild mushrooms with a similar appearance of the morel are deathly poisonous, and there is no cure once you eat them.
Most morel lovers take hunting this fungus treat quite seriously with secret hunting spots not to be shared or discussed with others. The bowl of mushrooms pictured was a fabulous treat paired with St. Julian's Braganini Reserve Pinot Noir for a delicious Mother's Day feast. Where did we find the morels? We'll never tell!
