Wild Mushrooms:
~Morels. We have very beautiful ones all week from Oregon.
                      Still a slow start, due to cold weather and snow over much of the areas, but it
                      is warming up and supply should increase and price should drop.
                      The season should last at least until mid-June. They could be around as late
                       as mid- August.

                       Limited quantities. This may be the last of the season from S. Africa.
                       The Oregon season should start now in May, which is their usual season.
                        The weather decides.

                          June.
~Chanterelles / Girolles. Finally back for Thursday delivery, if all goes well. (We
                          have stayed away from the Moroccan, since the quality has been very
                          low and the shelf life too short.) From Bulgaria. Very small: 1/2 inch to
                          1 inch long. Have been washed and fandried.
                           Season: Should be around all summer from Europe and then from Oregon
