For many Michiganders, Morel hunting is a favorite spring pastime.
The time is here again. Morel season. For so many, this is not just a hobby, but a way of life.
Many people in the state were raised hunting for the ever-elusive Morel. They can recall trips with parents and other relatives into the deep woods north of Clare, all the way up to above the bridge, searching for the natural delicacy.
Even with the prices of these at a pretty penny for just one pound, many would not sell their finds for millions of dollars. It seems to be a common perception that the hunt is where the real money is.
So, this spring, get out in the woods. Get your hands dirty, and take in some of mother nature's creation. You never know what you might find!

I remember going Morel hunting when I was probably about 5. I didn't realize what they were back then but now I would kill for some! I haven't had any in years, but I know they are pretty rare. Great post!
