Mushrooms (though not Morels) (Photo: Susanna Bolle)

One of the few upsides to the wet weather we’ve been having lately is that it’s great for wild mushrooms. Spring is the best time to find wild morels in New England, and Food on the Food blog has a handy and informative post on how to find these delicious, if somewhat homely, fungi.

Of course, you should be very careful that you correctly identify any shroom you forage. In addition to consulting the reference books that blogger Tammy Donroe suggests, you can consult a mycological expert to be 100% sure. The Boston Mycological Club is a good place to find one. Or, sign up for one of their mushrooming walks in and around Boston to become one yourself! I went on one of the club’s walks last Fall and really enjoyed the experience. Read about it HERE.
