TN: Natural Loire SB and a Meursault that escaped PremOx (but still wasn't good)

Ah, I am reminded of "the good old days" when I used to go down to the wholesale produce market in Los Angeles in the dark of morning to purchase a pound of Pfiferlinge at quite reasonable prices. :-)

Would that be Pfefferlinge, German for chanterels? I pick those right outside :-)

That would be correct. Spelling has never been the strong suit for us Texans. ;-)

Girasole? I thought that referred to sunflowers? Also, what constitutes "shockingly expensive" for morels? Around these parts, a large (1 qt) container of morels sells for ~$30 in season. My mycophagous friend SFJoe tells me that we get a different species of morel here, but still that's what it costs around here.

Side note: Curiously, this year we went directly from getting morels from TN/KY to getting them from MI, completely bypassing the local product. In most years, I can forage in some friends' forests and get

10-12 good looking morels, but this year -- perhaps because of a very rainy April -- we didn't seem to get many. Strange...

I had a good year this year finding as many as 30-40 at a time. We picked a lot of grey's early then blacks and dog peckers. Not many yellows this year.
