Hello All:

First time poster here. So I wanted to say "hello" and that I am excited to become a member. I live in River Falls, WI which is about 10 miles south of Hudson off of 94.

I found about a dozen mushrooms yesterday near Baldwin, WI and want some experts to ID them. I think they are morels, but want to be sure before I eat them. They were found near a dead elm and both the stem and cap are hollow.

I also found some ramps.

Even if the mushrooms are not morels, it was still a good day in the woods. I was pretty excited to find the ramps. I can not wait until I get to eat some of those tonight laugh

NoWiser - Thanks for the ID! I appreciate it. Hopefully they will be enjoyed tonight with the ramps.

Has anyone else found ramps with white/green stems instead of the purple? I found both and it seems the white/green-stemmed ramps were possibly older because there were more leaves, larger bulb, and the start of the flowering stem (maybe called a scape??).

Thanks again!

David

One tip if your going to sautee your morels in butter. Place the cut pieces in a bowl for a few hours and them pour of the water. I would do this twice as the morels contain a high percentage of water.

Then your sauteed morels won't be watered down when you make them.

Enjoy.

Tasty looking morels, nice ramps too!

I've been having trouble finding good pickable ramps. I don't know if they're not big enough yet, or what the deal is. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. Would really like some like what you have pictured to incorporate into some meals!

We call those leeks. Found quite a bit this year and they are still growing. You know they are are leeks(or ramps) because they grow with two shoots from the ground and are purplish near the stem.

Thanks for the comments!

This was my first year picking ramps (wild leeks - same thing, just different names). I was surprised to find that only some of the ramps had the purple stems. In my picture, some of the stems are purple; some are not. I also noticed the purple-stemmed ramps usually had one leaf, while the green/white-stemmed ramps had two or three leaves. Also, some of the green/white-ramps also seem to show the start of flower stem (maybe called a scape??). So I wonder if some ramps matured early or had an early start.

I hope to get back to that spot later this week to find more morels and ramps. grin

ilikefood, on the morels with brown stems like the one in your pic, just cut any brown areas out or any other areas that don't looked like they formed well or have mold spots. Nice find and welcome to the site! smile

Leech - Thanks for the info. I am actually letting a couple morels soak right now. Then saute with the ramps and butter. Should be a tasty snack before bed.

Thank you for the welcoming.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
