Annual Re-Post

 During the long winter months, lots of us have been waiting for those longer days and warmer temperatures to arrive. A spring hike through the woods of New England holds the potential for many pleasures and a lot of different adventures.
This is the time of the year if you’re a forager, and what you look forward to most of all about a spring is the opportunity to take to the woods to harvest some delicacies like the Morel mushrooms.
These are not your average mushroom. Morels are one of the most sought-after varieties of wild mushrooms. Why are morels so beloved? Put simply, they’re delicious. Morels have a meaty, yet tender texture and an earthy, nutty flavor that mushroom enthusiasts can’t get enough of. Morels have a very short growing season and are available in New England from late April through the first week or so of June. 

To narrow down the specific time period for hunting Morels, there are a few specific environmental conditions that you must wait for. They are soil temperature, air temperature, and the humidity.
During the initial warm days and morning of spring.

After the nights start to warm up. No colder than 45 degrees.

After the first rain. All mushrooms need moisture, and the rain gives it to them.
Look in areas that are mostly exposed to a southern sun. Search around areas with moist soils with low acidity, shady areas with hardwoods, poplar trees or old abandon apple orchards or scrub apples. If you find one, you need to stop and look around. You’re likely to find more within 20 feet of where you're standing.

There are a great variety of edible wild mushrooms out there, and several are fairly "safe", i.e. easy to identify, and do not have poisonous look-alikes. That being said- don't trust me- and if you are ever in doubt about what mushroom you have- throw it out. Morel mushrooms have a distinctive appearance, but false morel mushrooms (which encompass multiple species, including Gyromitra) can fool the untrained eye. True morel mushrooms have a uniformly shaped cap that is attached to the stem, and a hollow interior. False morel mushrooms have a wavy or irregular cap that may hang free from the stem, and web-like or cottony fibers inside. Never eat a mushroom unless you are confident in its identification.

My official disclaimer!
As I expand my knowledge about New England mushrooms, my goal is to find ones that I can eat. It is possible to cause yourself serious harm if not death from eating certain mushrooms.  I will provide the most accurate information I can here, but you must be very careful about eating wild mushrooms, consult multiple sources to make sure of what you are eating, and ideally have an expert ID any mushroom for you before you eat it for the first time.

The Positive Impacts of Law-Abiding Citizens Owning Firearms

​
At a time when violent crime is spiraling out of control with a seemingly non-stop stream of high-profile crimes. Our Politicians continue to foster this criminal atmosphere with the non-stop rhetoric of targeting the guns rather than the criminals that are holding them.

​If the policies of a pitiful governance were changed and they were truly
 determined to fight crime, then they would lock all these undesirables up behind bars for a long time rather than releasing them back to the streets.

We see firsthand on a daily basis that the Police will not generally be there when you need them. They respond to calls of those who are already in peril, or to a crime scene after the offense has occurred.


So once again, we have a few stories from last month on how the criminals are trying to raise havoc in our civilized society, and of those armed people with their guns, that did not want to become a victim.
