Wild Mushroom Season!!!

Tweet

I live in the central part of the state of Indiana where a couple of local highlights of the spring are Hoosier Hysteria (basketball finals) and pursuing the wild mushroom. The mushrooms most often sought around this time are the sponge mushroom and the serpent mushroom. They have a way of staying hidden from the human eye unless you look at a spot for a long time and are, more often than not, found close to trees (both alive and dead) and seem to be more plentiful after a soaking rain followed by plenty of sunshine. They can be found in your own yard, but are, mostly, found in a woods. Some (especially true with the morel/sponge ones) grow to an amazing size to where they can't even completely fit in the palm of an adult hand without stretching beyond it. Most, however, usually measure anything from 2 to 3 inches long/tall. Some people fry them in cornmeal or something of a similar grainy nature or else in batter. While I find both of those ways of preparing it to be very good, my favorite way to fry them is in flour. I also have been known to cook them (unbattered) in the oven or microwave. When I do this, I just baste them some in water and season with garlic powder. At times, I add them to soups--especially, creamy ones--or cook with green beans and/or other vegetables. I'm now thinking of something I've never tried before, but I believe would be yummy: Heat mushrooms unbattered in the microwave. Spread two slices of bread with creamy peanut butter. Put mushrooms between them--possibly, also adding a dill pickle slice or two to the recipe--and enjoy. Where do you live, and do you have wild mushroom season there? Please describe your experiences with wild mushrooms.
