  • Mushroom Basics by Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist
    Mushroom Basics By Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist Photos compliments of “Wildman” Steve Brill http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com The Good White Morel Morchella deliciosa I was working in the woods on a fine spring day several years ago, when I thought I smelled mushrooms. Looking around the mixed hardwood stand dominated by Tulip Poplars, I noticed a lot of Sweetgum balls. When I looked closer, I realized that many were actually morel mushrooms in camouflage. Once my eyes and brain adapted to the difference, I realized that I was surrounded by a stealthy delicacy, some six inches high. I ran for some brown paper bags and picked several pounds. Though I have found edible mushrooms in every month of the year, the season really begins, at least psychologically, in early spring with the emergence of morels, or “merkles” as they are known by many mushroomers. Start looking around apple blossom time when wild asparagus and May Apples are up and oak leaves are the size of squirrel’s ears, or about mid April. Morels are sometimes found in unusual places, such as mulch piles and lawns (especially near elm trees), but they often inhabit old apple orchards, Tulip Poplar stands and burned over woodlands. If you find more than you can use right away, call me – I will even help you pick them! Otherwise dry them. Morel flavor actually intensifies with drying. There are many excellent edibles, besides morels, that grow in abundance throughout Virginia and are easily identified, once you know what to look for. The differences and points of distinction are characteristic and quite obvious: Is the cap of a certain color, texture or feel? Does it have gills, pores or spikes underneath? What color are the gills and spore print? Does it grow on the ground or on trees, in the woods or on lawns? Once you have seen, touched, smelled and tasted a specific mushroom, it is like telling the difference between an apple and a tomato.
