MUSHROOM

HUNTING  CLUB   

2008 Northern Michigan Morel Foray

     Come and join Chris Matherly in the Famous Morel Country near Cadillac, Michigan to hunt the Motherlode of Morels, just waiting to be found! This is a special treat designed for those that love to hunt Morels, or maybe are just starting this sport, and would love to learn more of how and where to hunt, and be guided by a pro Morel Hunter. This is a learning experience, and many special Morel Recipe dishes will be demonstrated as well by Chris Matherly. Several prime hunting spots will be searched. There is a nearby National Forest so Morels are sure to be plentiful! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity so make sure you register immediately, as it will be on a first come first served basis, and limited to the first 15 registrants.

This photo was taken by Chris in 2007 in Michigan.

This was the 2007 Michigan Morel Foray where Chris guided the group, and the Travel Channel crew through the Michigan woods in search of Morels. The Travel Channel Morel episode is currently airing. Chris is on the far right, and next to him is Kirsten, the Host for the Travel Channel show "Best Places To Find Cash And Treasures".
