I'm originally from San Diego, but I lived in Missouri and Iowa for many years and was introduced to Morels. It was like a gift from Heaven - like eating a vegetable steak. Here is Russia we have a lot of amazing mushrooms, but I don't know the English names of the varieties because I never studied nature in the U.S. However, my wife knows them ALL or at least seems to. Russians stay very connected to nature. Much more so than a city boy from San Diego like me. It's been a great experience.
