Central Iowa morel hunters see smaller bounties in 2021 due to cool, dry weather Robin Opsahl, Des Moines Register
It s been a tough spring for most morel mushroom hunters in Iowa. The cool, dry weather has made for a limited crop of the coveted fungi.
Knowing they probably wouldn t find many, Deb Frye and Tawnya Ryberg still spent a couple of hours Wednesday night searching the Cottonwood Recreational Area near Saylorville Lake.
It s what you do when you love those distinctive, pitted mushrooms, which have a short season of just a couple weeks between April and May. Imagine if you could only have tacos two weeks out of the year, Frye said. That s how it is with morels. It s delicious, but it s limited so everyone wants to get their hands on them.
