To me feels wrong to pick mushrooms from cemetery plots.

Considering all of the things my GF and I did in the cemetery, picking a few mushrooms seem rather tame :)

eeewwww yet another reason I'd fore go cemetery mushrooms

Morels are up around Brockville I got white (yellow) and one lonely black under a Pine tree. Still not in the areas I am hunting in Ottawa. We got some rain here and temps will high this week. I want 10 freezer bags full...lol. My plan is to freeze, and dehydrate them this year and see how they last. Leeks, going try the pickling method I see on side of road at farm stalls.

The lawn mower will just get them if you leave them. Waste not want not etc...

I know of a puffball patch and while out turkey hunting I saw one nice sized one last week, do they come out in the spring too?

So what else comes up in the same location as puffball and looks exactly the same as puffball but comes up in the spring?

A Volleyball.

Just had venison chops and half a dozen good size morels for supper. They come up in mulch in our flower bed 2 feet from our house foundation. Stopped by a few spots I usually find them a week ago and nothing.
