Morel Madness

It has been has a great mushroom season.  We have been slaying those bad-boys!  We have found several pounds already.  Chloe is the green-horn of the bunch.  She goes out there with us every time and found her first mushroom yesterday!  We found a large patch of yellow morels.  Mamaw, Pa, and I were preoccupied with excitement over how big these dude's were.  Most of them were around 4 inches tall.  Then we heard Miss Chloe say "Chloe found mushroom, big one".  We looked over, and sure enough, she was squatting down, picking a big morel!  She was so stoked, she danced around with her prize saying "mushroom, Chloe pick it".  In the photo above she is giving the mushroom a hug.  What can I say, she loves her mushrooms!

Chloe was not happy when I told her the mushroom needed to go into the fridge.  I think the disappointment is clearly written all over her face.
