Its raining...and getting warmer. So of course we are GEARING UP for another GREAT Morel Mushroom Season here in Northern Michigan. The committee members all have their assignments and are working hard to top last years festival.
The festival is always the weekend after Mothers Day and this year that means the festivities start on Thursday May 17th and runs through Sunday the 20th.
What an amazing festival weekend! LIve music Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights!
Each May, Boyne City MI fills with hundreds of mushroom lovers from around the country who come seeking that elusive delicacy-the marvelous morel. Found in nearby woods and clearings, morels are favored by those who know their 'shrooms.
Boyne City hosts the National Morel Mushroom Festival and the Boyne Valley Lion's National Morel Mushroom Hunt each year, and for a few short days, everything is all about mushrooms. Restaurants prepare exotic, morel-laden entrees, local songsters sing of the morel (click on the player to the left to listen), secret hunting places (maybe) and recipes (definitely) are shared, and everybody goes on the mushroom hunt. A good year can yield thousands of the mouth-watering treats. But, even when a dry spell or late spring makes morels scarce, morels can be tasted at the 'Taste of Morels' and the festival is always fun for everyone.
