Morel Mania

One benefit of this wild weather we've been having is that it seems to be good for mushrooms - especially morels. This past week, naturalists and preschoolers were collecting morels throughout the nature center. And the size of the things - heads standing 4"-6" tall. Amazing and elusive!

Morels (Morchella esculenta) officially became Minnesota's state mushroom in 1984.
