This time of year, spring, is the season for a very tasty mushroom called the morel. The larger ones are very good stuffed with ricotta cheese and baked in spaghetti sauce. They are very easy to identify. Another similar looking mushroom, called the false mushroom can make you ill, however, it is not hollow like the morel. We do know of a few people who cannot eat morels because they give them cramps, so we suggest, for first timers, to eat just one to start off with. They are found till end of May in Ohio and are located in sunny areas under dread elm trees and in old orchards, however, they can be found almost anywhere. These were found along an abandoned train track converted into a bike trail in Pa, called the Montour Trail.
