If you are talking about going up to Door County Saturday, my wife and I are heading up tomorrow. Ill post how we did. Im not sure what we will find up there, but its a hike in the woods, a picnic, and Door County Brewery (and maybe One Barrel as well) on the way home with a few growlers. It wont be bad no matter what happens.
When I said it wont be bad no matter what...I was wrong. Rain...lots of rain. My wife and I looked for about three hours in heavy downpour and found a whopping one morel. We would have been drier had we jumped, fully clothed, into a lake. We may try again in a week, this time paying more attention to the forecast!

A Plateful of Pleasantries and a Basket Full of Beauties. Found these today in some nasty terrain: a lot of fallen timber, wet mossy stumps, and under ripe old elm after yesterday's rain. There was a mixture of Silvers (greys) and Golds (blondes). Yeah, it's work crawling over the trash but look at those colors! Got very wet and bloody pounding through buckthorn and russian olive to get to the targets. Great time!! Love it!!

You have good taste in beer my friend! We didnt end up stopping by the brewery due to being so wet and not presentable. The good news is I think we are doing it all over again this Thursday, so if you are serious about that, Id pick some up and figure out the best way to meet up. If so, send me a private message and we can work out the details.
It’s all over now, until about next February when all the BS’ing will start all over again. Have a great summer & fall. Lots of other goodies to pick now.

Update to others I have sent. Lilly of the Valley stolen from my neighbors yard shown. Clearly different than Ramps. Ramps will provide a bulb, which gets larger as they grow early in spring. Lilly of the Valley later in spring with No bulb, all roots. This picture is taken 5 weeks later than the ramps. AGAIN, do your research on wild edibles BEFORE you eat, regardless what you think they may be. Be safe and Eat well. ITW
