Our friend, Jay Fisher, who hunts mushrooms on our property found this one (and only one that day) that he took home and photographed between two 8 oz. paper cups to show how big it is. That's what I call a "Whopper." I also just learned, from my friend Granny Sue's blog, that West Virginia folks call morel mushrooms "mollymoochers."
I haven't heard anyone from around here call them that, but I don't really get around that much. I can't wait to tell Jay--I wonder if he, being from the North like I am, has ever heard that. Well, he has an appreciation for the language like my husband and I do so he'll love the words. Mollymoochers, so much easier to say, and remember, than morel mushrooms. And so much more colorful.
