NWR: Morels!!

Joel, a Hendrikson is a Mayfly (Ephemerella subvaria) sometimes also called a Red Quill. It's one of the first major hatches of the year around here.

Interesting, Kay....we have a red quill hatch on the Big Wood out west...late August/Sept. Size 12 or so.

Great pic, Mark...I just noticed it. Those look big. Lots of good shrooms here in the markets...no morels though.

Interesting to see Rahsaan checking in on it last week, as it seems the flavor profile in mine was more similar to his than it was to my friend's bottle, while at the same time was less "mellowed."


There's no solving the endless permutations of this wine! But nice that you made a good match of it.

Wow,

It's early for morels, isn't it? The weather has been pretty warm in Iowa City, and I can't imagine it has been that different for you. We might just have to look around in the woods a bit this weekend.

Kevin,
I'm beginning to suspect that you are correct and that the two that we found were early harbingers of the season proper. Our woods and other favorite haunts have turned up nary a hint of a morel.
