Hi, Thanks again to all who have responded on the Morel Mushrooms of Vermilion Co., Illinois. I have searched the web and have came up with another address whereby there is a very informative page on "How to find Morels" along with full color pictures you can down load for those of you who live in places where these mushrooms can be found and enjoyed. Apparently there are several groups who have made these mushrooms into a culinary specialty. I live in California and will seek these out at the specialty food markets as I have yet to taste them. My husband says he remembers fondly of his mother's excitement at finding them in their forages into the woods, searching for the mushrooms. As a note of caution, there is what they call a "false morel" sometimes called brain mushrooms which produce a toxin. So if you search for these in the wild, I would think one would want to be well informed. Here is the URL http://web4.topchoice.com/~physmush/findd.html Thanks again, Annie
