Oeufs de Gaulle is a classic morel recipe Jacques

Oeufs de Gaulle is a classic morel recipe Jacques Pepin used to make for French president Charles de Gaulle.

You bake eggs in a ramekin with shrimp topped with creamy morel sauce and eat with toast points.

Makes for a really special brunch or breakfast. Recipe’s on my site, but it’s even better to watch Jacques make it on you tube.

Morels: the only wild mushroom I count by the each

Morels: the only wild mushroom I count by the each instead of the pound.

Good day today, although my Twin Cities spots seem a full two weeks behind from the late spring. 2 hours south they were almost all mature.

76 for me and 152 for the group. Check your spots, and good luck!

The first time I’ve seen fungal guttation-a natural secretion of water I typically see with plants.

I understand it as an indicator that the mushrooms are growing rapidly, and a byproduct of their metabolism speeding up. If you have some clarifications, chime in.

Most people know it from Hydnellum
peckii-another polypore. I’ve never seen it on pheasant backs before.

Morels are coming soon too. Mine were 1 inch tall yesterday in the Twin Cities.

Italian wild food traditions are some of my favori

Italian wild food traditions are some of my favorite.

Case in point: preboggion, a mixture of wild plants, that, depending on the reference, should be made with 5-23 individual plants.

Here’s a few mixtures I’ve made this spring, along with a reference from the Oxford companion to Italian food.

The mixture should include some bitter greens (typically assorted asters) but the most important plant is probably borage.

Making your own version is a good excercise. Here they’re wilted with garlic and oil, but there’s a bunch of traditional recipes the mixture is used in.

Can you believe this got cut from my book?!

Oh the things I get in the mail.

This is my kind of tip though: a handmade buckskin bag with a note and a handful of bleached snapping turtle claws. 😁😂

Sent in by Leslie, a reader.

Smells like woodsmoke and the cat quickly claimed it as her new bed.
