Yep- that was the idea. I have 3 doors on that one and stand in one spot and- boom, boom, boom! Done!

I used mega screw-in eyes for the right angles and around the corners. It's definitely a bit MacGyver, but I like the ease.

Are these Morels?

 

[ChooksChick]

NO!! Not morels. I think they're called Devil's Dicks or Dog Dicks. I don't mean to be rude, the mushroom club here calls them that...

Don't eat them!

They are in fact called stink horns. The unsprouted eggs are edible. Get close and smell one and you will know why they are called stink horns. Just on of the many interesting shrooms in the area!

Quite right, they are false morels, but google isn't a mushroom authority, nor am I. GeorgeM on here is, though, if you ever see that user. He runs the mushroom club in this area, and is also a chicken-fan!

I just knew it wasn't a morel and what I'd been told it was and I wanted to answer QUICK!

NO EAT!

In college I did a study on mushrooms. I have tons of books. Walked with MO leading mushroom guy. In any case you can eat a false morel and the elephant ear. I have eaten both. You just have to parboil them before cooking. Little like polk I think by the time you boil it a few times its just fiber. Walking with this man now dead was always an eye opener. He would see something and say "I ate one of those and Sh*%# blood for a week.

Ate one of those and drank wine. I was pukeing all night. No wine and they are awesome. "Inkys" The ones that grow on your stump after a rain but are black and dried in a day.

Great for flavor just dont drink!Today you can buy cultured varieties and grow them here in Kansas. In fact met a girl who worked on a (guess the real word for a good eddable is not acceptable to BYC!

)nonsense farm in Lawrence about 10 or more years ago.

They hang oak logs under shade and water often. "Fawns" come up on the stump cut at or below the ground covered in leaves. June and July is "Fawn"season, just like portabellas.

I had two pheasants hatch this morning. Now it's time to find more places to keep babies! I've already filled my new big brooder house that I just started filling 6 days ago.
