Morels

Saturday, while mowing my backyard, I ran over a couple of mushrooms. I didn't recognize them until too late and I ended up splattering two highly sought after edible fungus across my yard. After doing so, I thought about where they were located and if possibly my neighbor had any growing in his uncut yard, then I went next door and asked permission to hop the fence and see.

This is what I found. 25-30 morel mushrooms. I've been told that they were worth about $40, if I'd have sold them. But, having a coworker that hunts them every spring, I brought them by his house Saturday evening. He had never seen so many at once and thought it was pretty cool.
