They should be up in your area, thrifty. They're just showing up in Michigan. Check out the Morel Madness message board.

Speaking of mushrooms, anybody know what wacky shrooms look like? Don't they grow outa cow patties or horse turds?

They have to have a sterile environment. Peyote grows out of poo. They look like portabellas almost, dried up, dark brown and can have tiny caps or huge caps.

Not many mushrooms have been out around here lately. We've had too much dry weather.

I've heard that the cows have to be grain fed for the dookie to grow shrooms.

Around matured horse poop is referred to as "mushroom soil".

I watched a show on TV and they showed how farmed mushrooms are grown on a compost of hay and soil soaked in horse urine. The urine has nitrogen or something the mushrooms need to grow.

I think the idea behind being grain fed is that the grain contains some spores or something like that....
