You can mince some pecans then roll them in flour and fry in bacon grease. I know a few spots where they grow around bitch and hickory nut trees around ponds. Once you find them they will come back year after year. I hunt them after the first night is around 65-70 degrees and rain.
Yummy!

Oh, boy! what a natural treat they are! Better than chocolate!
Our way of fixing them is for them to be dipped in a whole-egg batter, rolled in crushed crackers and fried in butter.
Of course, as survival food, they are rarely found except in (my old neck of the woods) in the spring and that can take some hunting. However, there are other eatable types that can be found several months of the year. But as he advised, know what you are eating!
I recently enjoyed a mess of 'em that a friend found here near Austin. She, formerly of Washington state where they find literally tons of the eatable type, assured me that they were OK. She was correct and we had a fine addition to our meal. I didn't die!
To find them in stores, Whole Foods carry them so I suppose that they are grown commercially also. but they are expensive!

O
Morels are the bomb, especially in a beer batter. Every spring we used to go to our honey spot and collect them and sell them, which was always a bittersweet moment. Part of me wanted to keep them to eat them, but the other part of me said I needed the money. Which was, and still is, to good to pass up.
Of course, I did always keep some around for a couple of meals.

I've never seen anyone not smile after biting into a beer battered mushroom (especially good with a horseradish dip at hand). I've seen many a mushroom hater fall in love with Morels. They'll pass on a Potabella though. It's actually a good business to get into.

Thats the word on the street. I live in Oklahoma so there's not really a market. Mrs. Catfishjoe hates mushrooms but love morels????? We eat ours without dipping sauce. Care to share a horseradish recipe? Hmmmm??

You guys are getting me hungry, I have some cheap Green Giant mushrooms in the fridge. They don't even come close to Morels for taste but spring is five months away
