Morels

I was walking through my garden on my way to work last week when I noticed something strange in the zen garden. It was a morel mushroom!
Why was this delicacy of the woods growing in a sunny gravel garden next to our house? Very strange.

I think we might have an attractive area for morels. I found a second one growing in my main garden.

I left both of them to mature in the hopes to have more mushrooms next year. Although I'm not counting on it, it would be pretty sweet to just go into the garden to harvest these yummy little things!
