The Great Nebraska Mushroom Hunt was a success again this year, with many people attending finding a good number of blonde morels. We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make it such a wonderful event, especially Linda, for all her time and energy she dedicates each year to host the hunt. She also donates much of the proceeds towards the American Cancer Society in memory of the person who started it. Thanks again Linda!

After the Great Nebraska Mushroom Hunt, James and I headed towards Indian Cave State Park for camping and more morel hunting. Stay tuned for more pictures as well as the Nebraska Morel episode of Amateur Mycology Video Magazine featuring all of our morel adventures! On that same note, the editing of our trip to Texas is almost complete! It should be online in the next couple weeks!

The last Saturday in April in the small Nebraska town of Peru, there is a gathering of people from across the country all hunting for one mushroom… the elusive culinary delight, the Blonde Morel! James and I have plans to visit this festival, film our trip there and back, and plan on hunting the Morel the whole way! Our trip will start here in Colorado, but we plan on driving there because we will be following the Platte River almost the whole way there! For those of you who haven’t hunted Blonde Morels before, that means we are driving past Morel habitat during the entire drive! If you would like to visit the Great Nebraska Mushroom Hunt visit their website, www.nebraskathegoodlife.com for a schedule, driving directions, as well as any other information about the festival. And if you can’t make it and wish you could, check back soon for a full episode of Amateur Mycology Video Magazine all about this trip. Hope all is well out there, and if you are in Colorado and haven’t already, get out there and start looking! There is fungal life about!
