I usually dry them but have froze them. I don’t batter them just flour. Cut them in half, rinse in cold water, drain to remove excess water, flour them and spread and freeze on a cookie sheet. When frozen solid bag up. A vacuum sealer works well here.

I need to get back out there. I am seeing local reports of massive hauls. We just got a nice rain and it warmed up by nearly 20 degrees over the last couple of days. We are expecting scattered showers and storms for the next three days! I don't mind getting wet for our little Morchella friends!!

Me n buddy found 13 pounds this morning, one of my best days ever! Still finding fresh ones popping but most are enormous. Great year for me already and I estimate 1-2,weeks left still.

^ ^ Nice.

First it was cool and wet then it got warm and dry, weird Spring. Finally got some rain and found these whites while looking for some sites. A couple were past prime but still OK. I wish I would have used something as a size reference, the middle one was big. The second pic is it on a dinner plate.

I chopped it up and fried in butter with some sweet onion and then cracked a couple of eggs over all…delicious.

My buddy recently found some good looking ones in the Midwest.he says they can go for two hundred dollars a pound in Chicago.is that true?

$50 – 60 a pound retail here (Midwest). $200 is pretty steep but I can imagine some high end shops trying to get it.
