Morels, morels, everywhere

Morels, one of my favorite edible parts of the planet, are coming into season. Bruce Logue of La Pietra Cucina had them on the menu last Friday, sauteed and tossed with tagliatelle.
Check out Morels.com for reports from people all over the country of their first sightings of this delicious mushroom. Some of this year’s first sightings have been reported in Georgia. One lucky guy harvested 35 lbs. of them in North Georgia, where he was fishing.

That looks heavenly. Did you happen to find out if he’ll have them on the menu for a little while?

I have loved morels ever since the day I was out walking in Michigan and found a huge stash of them. I pulled them up, brought them home, and cooked them up and now I get them just for the memories.

Jennnifer, the menu there changes so abruptly there that I have quit asking about a dish’s duration.
Steph: We found a morel in our front yard a few years ago. I managed to build a meal around it.
