Sorel Mushrooms
Rachel Fenwick
If anyone from Wisconsin is familiar with the town or area of Muscoda, please
reply. Have been asked if this is a good area for someone to pick sorel
mushrooms. Any extra information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ;)

harvest some and she came back with a 33 gallon plastic bag half
full. I thought it kind of her to give me a six-pack of Guinness
beer in return.
Then I found that the damned things go for $60 a pound!
Excuse me, but I've got some mushrooms to pick!

Rachel - I am sorry, I mistype more than anyone, and I know what you meant but I
cannot resist!
We hear stories about Wisconsin folk here in Minnesota, but the ones in Muscoda
must be really bad. My sorels get kinda rank between deer seasons, but they have
NEVER grown mushrooms. A bit of mildew maybe but never mushrooms. I hate to think
what a sorel mushroom would taste like.

Just make sure you know what you're picking. I've seen three articles in the
last month in our local newspapers about people winding up in the hospital
from eating mushrooms that they thought were safe; one of them is now
waiting for a liver transplant.

After reading the mushroom posts, I decided to check for morel mushrooms in
my woods. We came out with about half a grocery bag full. I was surprised
as it was pretty cool. They tasted great as always. It rained yesterday,
but the temps are in the 70s today. I'll bet there's alot more out there tonite.

Morel mushrooms are the best mushrooms I've ever tasted. I grew up in
Central Illinois (Rushville) and we picked them in the woods every May.
Washed, split, dipped in flour and fried was the way my Mother fixed them.
My husband and I will be there next week visiting and my brother has
informed me he is saving 5 quarts in the freezer for us to enjoy while
we're there -- eat your heart out!

Mmmmmmm!!!! Another way to fix them is to wash, split, and dry them as
best you can. Cut up some good bacon into 1/2 inch wide pieces and fry it
slowly to render out the fat. Remove the bacon, and add 1 or 2 cloves of
fresh garlic to the fat. Turn up the heat to medium-hot, wait till the fat
smokes a bit, and add the 'rooms. Saute till the 'rooms brown slightly (30
to 60 seconds), drain well, and serve hot with the crisp bacon pieces.

I recently got a catalog from Fungi Perfecti in Olympia, Wa. They sell
spawn kits so you can grow your own Morels. I'm highly tempted to buy
some of their kits to grow my own "wild" mushrooms!

We had a huge surprise today to discover that we have a group of Sorel
mushrooms growing out our back door in Milwaukee. Sue had taken the grass
out and planted a beautiful flower garden out back and put in a pond. She
spread rice hulls around the plants as a mulch. We have no idea how they
could have gotten there unless they were in with the rice hulls.
Unfortunately we'll have to leave them for the new owners of our house as
we've sold it to move to the country.

What is a Sorel mushroom? Is it something that grows in your
winter boots when you don't change the linings?

You're speaking of two different types of mushrooms. Morels grow in shady
wooded areas. Sorels are the type that grow in your winter boots when you
don't dry your liners before storing them.
