- Book Review,
by Larry Lonik
The Spore Print
You'll like this book! Since I had never heard of it before, mostly out of curiosity, I have read it once and reread most of it, in segments, about three times. I have also ordered additional copies for our special friends. It is very seldom you will find a book as specialized as this in its subject matter that you will thoroughly enjoy! It's humorous, informative and thorough.

From the Author
I picked my first morel when I was 6 years old. I have never missed a "season" since. I can spot morels 50 feet away (in fact, I look for the "shape" in the distance). I can tell from ground cover whether I'm too early, too late, or need to get closer to a source of moisture, if I need to move 100 miles north or south for more predictable success that day. I wrote the first book on morels and was the first General Manager at the first facility to grow morels indoors commercially. I'm extremely fortunate to be able to encourage others to enjoy this wonder-filled healthy, outdoor activity, and share the knowledge I've come to acquire. Plus delicious flavors, great people.... Have I told you about the 3 dogs that were trained to find morels....
