Backyard Delicacies

One benefit to living in Northern Michigan is the abundance of gourmet foods you can find in nature.  We found well over a pound of delicious morel mushrooms in our garden and backyard today!

This weekend we plan on continuing our annual tradition of hunting for them at Thompson's Harbor State Park here in Presque Isle.  You can check out some morel hunting tips and pictures of our morel hunt last year here.

These gourmet mushrooms can fetch up to $30 a pound on the market, but if you know where to look, you can enjoy them for free, and have a great time exploring the woods on your treasure hunt!
