The Junk Pile

Last Saturday all circumstances were finally favorable for a successful day of mushroom hunting.  Mike, Laura and I along with all the dogs except Buddy met Lois, Bill and Emily the dog over on Lois's property at the junk pile.  Mike had scoped it out earlier in the week when Bill was out of town and said the spot was definitely worth a visit.

Laura was the first one to spot a mushroom.  However, I have to give credit where it is due.  If you look closely at the picture you can tell that Mike had found it earlier in the week and marked it for us.  He had stuck a stick in the ground right next to it.

Then since Lois and Bill were not there yet, we went around looking for mushrooms but not yet picking them.  As a result there was a lot of finger pointing, even from me.

Then Bill and Lois arrived and the hunt began in earnest.  

When we were done we had with a bag of 20 morel mushrooms and plans for a mushroom fry.  We also had some pretty happy hunters as you can observe for yourself.  There are a lot of smiles in these pictures.
