| General Information: | Another picture of today's morels. To those of you still in the snow, Spring is only 8 days away. The snow will soon be melted and you will find your self in the woods. I just set this picture as my desktop background on the computer. Found one home that I have not been able to catch the home owner's home yet. Appears to be about 50 to 60 in their yard. Will leave a note tomorrow and hope I can get permission. | ||

| General Information: | I found these a few weeks ago, I have never hunted truffles before, and I was feeling bad because I couldn't afford to go to the Oregon Truffle Foray, so I taught myself allot about where to look, and BANG I think I found some? all on my own ? they are not ripe yet? still white on the inside and firm, I have been keeping them in the fridge wrapped in a coffee filter in a zip lock, I have taken it out to breath every day, it is now starting to smell finally, kind of sweet but kind of like fingernail polish remover, is this a Oregon white truffle ? No roots just white with pink veins on the outside, unripe? no veins on the inside yet ? as of a few days ago. They are getting darker in color now. The large one in the picture is over 3 inches Long, found 5 walnut size and smaller. What do ya think? | ||

| General Information: | I'm not sure what this mushroom is. I assume it's a kind of false morel? I just started mushroom hunting last year, and I'm itching to go again this spring. I found this guy in a forest of hemlocks and mixed decidious trees. | ||
| Chris' Comments: | This is a Helvella species, but the color is throwing me off as to which one, not a Gyromitra false Morel Though... | ||
