Psst, dad! Check this out

There's a place in Vinton that sells morel mushroom seeds (spores?).

You've had a strawberry patch, peach trees, large asparagus patches, grape vines, 80 tomato plants decades ago, nearly an acre of sweetcorn, lots of rhubarb, green beens, peas, radishes, green onions, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, kholarabis, and loads of fresh new potatoes. (Not to mention the largest non-commercial popcorn patch in Iowa.)

So wouldn't a nice morel mushroom patch be great?!

  1. My firm had a lawsuit over a morel "garden." They were going to make millions and then nothing, and the next year nothing, and the next year...I'm sure you can imagine the rest.

  2. ...but I would personally love a morel garden as the morels that grow on our property always grow underneath very pokey bushes and in not so great areas to get to. I may have to call these Vinton folks.

  3. It is a scam. People have tried for decades to "Farm" Morel mushrooms and it never works.
    Save your money, enjoy the walk in the woods, and find them the old fashioned way. HUNT THEM!

    Speaking of which...It is raining cats and dogs here. Once it warms up they are going to be popping like crazy here in SE Iowa.
