Perhaps you'll have them all next year while we're all finding none! I do the same, lavenderbay, especially when it comes to raspberries or blackcaps - they can be very hard to resist, and, I figure, eating a few doesn't actually do any harm. That is funny about your wildlife memories being associated with a relatively large urban centre. Just proof that there is wildlife in the city, too!

But... it was <i>morels</i>... Actually, the only time I ever ate one was as a kid in Grimsby, when it popped up right at the corner of the house. Funny how Grimsby was the biggest town I ever lived in before leaving home, but the place containing most of my wildlife memories.

Lavenderbay, I imagine the no-pick rule applies to a lot of areas where one would usually find them growing, unless you have your own property in the country. Thanks, everyone!

We're so used to leaving things alone in provincial parks, that we didn't pick the cluster of morels growing at the edge of our campsite last year. My fingers itched, though, and not from any toxins.
