  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I do, my family has 12 acres of woods that usually has some pretty good ones in it.
Last year it was a little too dry and most were really small and pretty dry. I'm a little disappointed that I probably won't get too many this year since I'm at school, last year I was home around this time for a few weekends and got a few.

I hunt morels. It's been a good year for them. For some reason they came up early this year (probably because we didn't have much of a winter). Did they come up early around your guys' areas?


Nope. The hunting around here has been pretty bad. I've found a few, but they were all tiny and almost not worth cooking. But I'll try again tomorrow.:thumbsup:

I write for AssociatedContent.com, a site that pays for articles written by real people. I write about hikes and restaurants in my hometown, religious organizations, and crafts. I think they'd definitely like articles on mushroom hunting. It's really fast and free to sign-up, and they really do pay $3 to $15 per submission.

The dry weather's a part of the problem.

I found aboyt 10 yesterday on our property...... which was a first! I dropped small tool and was on my hands and knees when ..........wow!. They were too dried out and buggy to use. I will be headed to higher elevation soon. They usually follow the snow line.

How can you tell the difference between the ones that are safe to eat and the ones that are harmful?


I would say you need to go with someone that has been doing it for a long time. There should be a club in your area. Join one and go on forays with them. You should start with one easy one like morels. They only have one "look alike" It seems that everyone starts with chantrells,:yum: It's another easy one. Remember one thing..........When in doubt...:confused:....throw it out! Don't guess! Livers are hard to replace!:sigh:
