Trip To Iowa

John, Dani Jo and I decided to make a short trip to Iowa to visit my brother Pat and his family.  We also wanted to try and get out to find some of the abundant morels of southern Iowa.  The spring has been decidedly colder than usual, but we thought we'd try anyway.

We checked a few of Pat's best spots yesterday, and only found a couple smaller yellow morels and a few handfuls of small grey morels.  Turns out that Becky, my sister-in-law is an expert mushroom hunter and she spotted the grove of small greys that made the difference between a decent day and a pretty lousy one.

I was amazed at the abundance of exceptional morel territory in that wonderful area of Iowa.
