These are morels and are very tasty, but getting hard to find around here. I have heard they are more plentiful to the north...
Haven't seen any. My land is pretty wet sometimes, probably too wet. I've heard they are good. Maybe I should grow those instead of ginseng.

That's cool!

Although it has happened, it's rare for one to hit this little burg in the woods
Got chased down a stretch of I-70 out in Kansas by a small twister once on the bike, no turn offs and the damn thing was following the road dancing from side to side. Got up under a bridge tossed a chain around the bike & guardrail and we climbed up to where the cross beams were anchored and watched it go over us. Thing didn't have but about a 2' or 3' footprint but jesus they are loud that close.

Probably one of the most horribly scripted shows ever. But it's like watching a train wreck - just can't take my eyes off of it!
