Nice find! I've been trying to get out to do some hunting. My relatives haven't had any luck, but I know a few friends who have had some good hauls lately. I once put a good amount of effort into developing a home grow. It's extremely difficult, but it's been accomplished - not feasible for any commercial bulk operation. There's a proven growing method on the patent books, though. An outdoor patch can take years before it actually starts producing mushrooms. Seems everyone has a favorite spot that's a fiercely guarded secret. They love decaying hardwoods, though, so if you know any long-disused orchards, you're really set. What sort of area were you hunting in?

Yeah, I don't see growing anything in my yard happening, lol - besides, going out and looking is half the fun!
I hunt at a local lake about 3 or 4 blocks from my house. Lots of wooded area/hills. Areas I hit last year that were good were a bust this year, and looking in new areas yielded my haul from the other day. Went over the same area today and only nabbed another 6 or so (in about 40 minutes). I don't buy the theory that morels "pop up" overnight, otherwise after all the rain we've had, there would have been a bunch more in the 3 days since I picked that load.
I plan on expanding my searching/hunting in the coming years - as I stay at home with my son and work out of the home, it's easier for me to just get out and hunt whenever. I saw a guy on Craigslist asking to buy 40(!!) pounds. That's $800-1200 worth of mushrooms depending on how much you sell 'em for around here. I got more than I know what to do with, so I'm drying a bunch right now. Man, they taste good!

Just got home from the farmer's market. There are two vendor stands up and selling them for $40/lb here as well. Sure was tempted, they looked delicious. But then, I could treat myself to lobster or king crab for less than that.

Mmmm...love me some king crab!
It's just too easy to find Morels around here - I'd never pay, when it's just so much fun to go hunting for them and decent exercise to boot.
I just finished drying about 3 pounds. I couldn't even give away and eat all 9 pounds. Hoping the little suckers go well in my grandpa's Sicilian spaghetti recipe!
