“Morel Mushrooms in Michigan and Other Great Lakes States” is a concise volume that tells from the author’s experience and the best information available from other seasoned mushroom hunters where, when and how to find these prized spring delicacies.
While morel mushrooms are found in every state, Michigan is the mushroom hunter’s favorite hunting ground; for more than 50 years the National Morel Mushroom Festival has been held in our state with people coming from around the nation to seek these fabulous woodland treasures. In 2011 the retail price for morels in Kalamazoo outlets was $50/pound – a price that matched other localities around the state. Why not learn to find them yourself in the spring?
For those individuals who seek more than the adventure of finding morels, the book tells the fine points of how to pick, preserve and enjoy morel mushrooms. Included are more than a dozen favorite recipes created by an award-winning chef from northern Michigan including his very special recipes such as ‘Morel Mushroom Pierogi’ and ‘Morel Crusted Bison Tenderloin with a Red Wine Demi-Glace’. Some people say that the recipes alone are worth the price of this attractive and useful book.
