Wanted: Mushroom hunters

By Ann Marie Ames ( Contact ) April 28, 2008 - 6:34 p.m.

I mentioned in this space last week that I went morel mushroom hunting for the first time.

We got nothin'.

But it's one of those things I've always wanted to do, and I thought it might make a nice little story, not just a blog entry.

I pitched it to news editor Sid Schwartz. Sid, being the outdoors type, agreed.

He told me you go morel hunting when the oak leaves are as big as squirrels' ears.

Other readers have said we have to wait until the nights get warmer.

So, I'm up for it!! Who wants to take me and a photographer out looking for mushrooms? Afterwards, we'll make dinner.

It'll be fun. Click on my name at the top of this blog to contact me, and we'll plan to meet in a few weeks.
