Found a nice bounty of morels on our property today. We're in West central NH for reference. So check your morel patches if you have one!

Found my first batch of morels today on our property! They were all in a woodland edge under a very old cider apple tree.

This is our third year on the property, but our first time finding morels, so I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to "manage the patch?" I left a handful of morels behind to hopefully spore, but beyond that, I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations, or suggested readings to keep the area active in morels?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, foraging folks, so this year, we finally remembered to harvest some of the ostrich fern fiddle heads we have on our property, and I had a question about freezing and cooking.

So, the Maine extension office recommends a two minute blanch prior to freezing. That makes sense, but given that they also recommend a 10-15 min boil prior to final prep for finished cooking (i.e. sauteeing, roasting, etc.), does that mean I'd still need to boil them more once I thaw them out?

I'm just trying to get some insider insights from folks if you freeze fiddleheads for later prep.

Thanks!
