Meatwad Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Did them come from the kato area or further south?? Them good down there!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-body Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 My experience has never shown them to grow if left alone. I have picked a few that the wrinkles have been tight, and those may have expanded if left alone, but normally, what you see is what you get.

harvey lee Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have left them also but never saw any added growth. I do believe the deer also like to munch on them.I thought it was still a bit early but I may need to check a few spots tomorrow for some with a good steak on the grill.Boy would my wife be happy if I would find a nice bunch to saute.

Papa Grump Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Found a couple really small ones , but still just a bit early yet. Tomorrow's sunshine will help a little. The dang rabbit's love them just as much as the deer do. I had a few growing in the yard last year, only to look around and discover that little varmits liked munching on them. Rabbit stew with shrooms anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviking Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 they are really popping down here, but it is a long drive. I only find them when I am hunting golf balls. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovehardwater Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 The morels I found were in Blue Earth county (sorry thats all I can say about the location). I did snap a few pics with a friends phone but could not find my power cord to my scanner/printer to upload. I went scouting a few local parks today and only found one very small gray after 4 hours of looking. I went back to the few small ones I found yestarday and they did not look much bigger. Like a few of you stated before I think either rabbits or deer got to a few, I seen a few that were missing the caps and some were missing parts of the caps. I also found a deer leg that was fairly fresh and was stripped clean to the bone.....BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have left some and they grew Gigantic...if they were still there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't know why they are called "lie" lacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBY RICHARD* Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't know why they are called "lie" lacs Because Mille-Lacs was already taken...??? Which by the by, the same shrubs over there are known as Mille-Lie-Lacs... Besides, Truth-lacs just doesn't have the same ring... You know what they say...when the Lilac leaves are as big as a Rats ear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred52 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hey Papa... Don't knock it 'til you try it! Morels with roast rabbit are AWESOME!!! It's one of the fall crock-pot recipes we do here. Besides, there's nothing like a "marinade on the hoof" Phred52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I have let a few sit a day or so that did get bigger when first found. Also not sure how much the Deer like them as there is a good size Deer trail right through the area I found them in with shrooms on both sides, and none were touched? At least I hope they don't like them, as much as I do! Going out tonight to check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
