To eat? Or not to eat?


Yesterday we found what I believe is a 4" common morel, growing in our backyard!

I've never done any foraging for mushrooms, but I do know that you should never eat any that you can't absolutely identify. So I searched the web and found links to photos of the common morel and the black morel. You can learn more about edible, wild mushrooms here.

We actually bought some black morels at the farmer's market, earlier on Saturday (they're on the left), so I think I'll be safe and just stick with those...

Take it from your brother; if you didn't plant it, don't eat it.
