mushroom seasons coming soon! who hunts them? i found a ton of morrels last year. well over 2000[ 650 in one afternoon"
i'm no expert, but heres some basics i've learned:
to preserve them, an old "shroom hunter" told me a trick that seems to work great [ i am eating last years mushrooms tonight and they tast like they were just found!]
1st: put a couple baking sheets in the freezer a few hrs before you start.
2nd: soak your mushrooms in saltwater for at least 8 hrs [this will get any bugs outta them]
3rd:slice them 1/4" thick.and put them in regular water.
last take out the cookie sheet and pull the mushrooms out of the water and on the cookie sheet. they will almost instantly freeze. but cover the sheet with shrooms about 1" apart and put them back in the frezzer. after 30 minuts or so pull them out and they will be like individual ice cubes.
i preferr to vaccum pack them in groups of 30 slices
TIME TO COOK EM'!!! [ even up to, or greater than, a year later!]
thaw them out under warm water, dip them in egg, roll em' in "ritz crackers" and fry them in butter until golden brown------------------------ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' good!
