First they need a competent botanist. A morel is not a mushroom.

I don't eat fungus. So sorry. >_>

[cripplecreek]

Oh but that's good fungus.

[AntiBurr]

Why am I not surprised?

[mabelkitty]

There is a reason for that.
It's called murder.
A doctor (no less) here in Cleveland picked some mushrooms from her backyard, put them in her food, killed her dinner guests, but she lived to tell the tale about her newly transplanted liver.
No lie.

I'll let my tagline do the heavy lifting for me once again.

[handy old one]

Government Intelligence not to be use in one sentence. The two words are not compatable. The ability to make rule does not follow thru to the end problems created being a problem.

This brings us back to Kansas City, where the morel season is about spent.

About????

I think the hard frost we had in early May ended it here in central Illinois. Found plenty before that.

I was in Texas for a week and came back home and didn't find anymore.

[TheHound]

Then you have never eaten a Morel - uuuummm!

[Graybeard58]

Oh but that's good fungus.

The absolute best!

[toddlintown]

Honey. I'm home.

Nasty rumor going around here in Illinois that the state may issue licenses for morel hunting.

One more damn'd tax.

[cripplecreek]

I heard the same rumor here in Michigan but I can't see it happening.

You are most eminently correct..

"Major steps in evolution are generally invisible to science, because they occur so rapidly that even the fossil evidence disappears.
To study a major step in evolution as it is occurring is unprecedented in science. The morel produces such a result in a very dramatic way.

It is currently evolving from a yeast to a mushroom.
This means the macro-morphology (large scale structure) of the morel is evolving from scratch.
There is no other known example of macro-morphology originating from a single cell organism in hundreds of millions of years.
