Buck Knife and Mushroom hunting

I wonder.......

Don't we really need a comparison of the performance of S30V and 420HC and BG-42 and XYZ99 steel as it pertains to slitting the throats of the little mushyrooms?

Hmmmm.......

David,

No mushrooms for you, only cactus flowers. Morels are usually associated with the forested areas. Especially in moist areas or along stream courses. They appear early in spring for a week or two at the most and can be found year after year in the same locations. That is if you leave a couple to mature...and keep the locations to yourself.
Gathered by native peoples, pioneers learned to do the same. There are other mushrooms that are edible, some at specific stages. Some can cause brain injury besides bowel eruptions. So learn before trying. Mushrooms in the Ozarks are sometimes dried but often added fresh to stews, eggs or saute'd alone. I alluded earlier my favorite way was battered and fried with a nice mess of fish. Catfish, whitebass or crappie. Lots of info on the net about how and where to deal with them. Mushrooms along with all sorts of berries, greens (poke salad) and especially wild onions were a spring treat for both native and pioneer peoples. I currently am enjoying a jar of Scuppernong grape jelly (wild muscadine grape) I was gifted with for helping some poeple move. Now if I can just find those crappies.....Or drive down to Hawkeyes digs.

David, If you knew the slang term for the longer ones, you would definitely have some fun with what we are eating!
 
I will slap my own hand after this post, since it is off the topic of knives...but I had to add a comment. When I see morels in the woods, I step on them as if they were a venemous spider! I really do dislike those buggers!
Vile weed! :D But I do love brocoli... so go figure...

All the Morels I pick are lovingly cut with a buck Cadet so it's kind of about knives. I'm with George W Bush on the subject of broccoli :barf:
