Slide 1.
My thoughts first turn to Spring mushrooming when the cottonwoods start
to leaf out and release their delightful Spring scents. Along the riverbanks
and in other moist areas I begin my hunt for the elusive and well-camouflaged
early morels, Verpa bohemica. When I see my first one, I
crouch and look closely for others hidden near-by because they usually
appear in groups.
