Unexpectedly, as I was leading a group of students down a trail to a waterfall, I found what I have been wanting to find for a long time. Morels. Edible mushrooms that could be black and yellow, growing in deciduous or coniferous forests in mid Spring. They could also be found in burned apple orchards, or so I hear/read. We ate them in pizza and they were delicious. I love finding wild edibles. The whole idea of being fed by nature without human intervention and dedicated expectation leads to a great feeling of connection with the Earth.
