I saw beautiful fresh Morels at Citarella's Market yesterday. However, their price was $44.00 per pound, more than I wanted to spend. The sign did not say "$44.00", instead it read "$10.99 for 1/4 pound". :o(
In the northwest - Idaho to Oregon mostly, they're free for the picking.
Actually not... not unless you buy your own land (big bucks per acre, and no guarantee there will ever be any morels) or get permission from a land owner (ain't gonna happen unless it's like your brother)... and picking on state lands requires a permit but foraging is usually strictly forbidden.
As usual, you're full of [censored]. Do you have a reference for any of that except in State/National parks?

Ooh Shel' baby, I knew we loved you for a reason. :-)
Their dried Morels translate out to $12.20 per lb. for fresh weight. The average wet to dried ratio for mushrooms is usually considered to be 10 to 1. That is one good reason to buy the dried [censored] at MT.
I almost always have dried [censored] on hand. I use them in a lot of things but it seems like they mostly wind up in my ramen 😉

I powder a lot of them. The blender does a good job of that. [censored] powder is a nice flavoring on a lot of things but I mostly use it on poultry. -- Peace, Om

this is at least the second time someone has referred to buying at 'm.t.' what does it stand for?

Used to be My Thanh asian supermarket. Now that they have moved and built a larger store in the New Austin Chinatown, they have shortened the name to MT Supermarket. It's a monster oriental market with just about anything you can imagine. ;-) -- Peace, Om

At Marché aux Delices in Manhattan they sell morels for rather less. Current price is $28. They have a very good reputation for the quality of their mushrooms. (Amy Farges, who co-owns the place with her French-born husband Thierry, is the author of _The Mushroom Lover's Cookbook and Primer_.) They also sell white asparagus and a lot of other things. Call 888-547-5471 for particulars. They are at 105 East 88th St. Suite 4B, not far from you, but I think they do only mail order.

I live in New York City, Manhattan, the Upper East Side. The place Victor recommended, Marche aux Delices, is within easy walking distance. I will pass by some time this week, weather permitting.

Bubba, I have heard of Amy Farges and I will pass by her shop some time this week. I wonder what other stuff she has there. I am supposed to meet Sue and Stan and Sheryl next Sunday. Perhaps we will all go there together. Thank you, it seems to be an interesting place with special owners.

It's still a few rungs below 99 Ranch 99 for size and selection.

If they may only do mail order perhaps you should phone first; as the mushrooms might be in a wharehouse someplace else. And seeing a secretary answer the phone and deal with mail wouldn't be that interesting.

You know Austin better than I do. After all, you live there. ;-)

Thank you, I have every intention of finding out whether or not they are open on Sunday, especially on Father's Day. Their Web Site has not been updated since before the 2006 Holiday Season. Some other information dates back to 2003. They may not even be in business any more.

I haven't seen too many Asian markets that even come close to Ranch 99. I am here in Richmond, VA now, and the biggest Asian market in this area has been touted to me by several folks as being huge, and having such great stuff.
Well...these folks don't know it, but it would fit in a tiny little corner of Ranch 99. The fish selection, for what it has, is good...but very limited. The produce section is very, very limited... Nothing like what I can find at Ranch 99, or even at the Asian markets in Albuquerque. Ranch 99 has them all beat though...

Areas that grow tons of wild mushrooms have no idea how lucky they are. :-) Down south here, those things sell for a premium!
Om,
The mushrooms are grown indoors in beds with strict controls for humidity, nutrients, lighting, etc.
If you didn't know better you'll probably think the town just smelled awful!

I didn't think you could cultivate morels. In any event, Margaret should start hunting her own. They flourish and fade fast, so if they're in her market, there likely are local places to hunt them.
I have a neighbor who has them in his backyard, alongside an ash tree. He doesn't like them, so he brings them to me.

Thank you, Nancy 2. I live in New York City, in Manhattan, on the 20th floor. I will go and hunt for them this afternoon. There are a few trees on East 76th Street, perhaps that is the place to start. Or in the florist shop, where there are lots of potted plants. I already looked in our lobby downstairs, but the plants are artificial. :o(
