Organizers and hunters are all recovering from the 50th Annual National Morel Mushroom Festival: Boyne City, Michigan -  ALWAYS in May on the weekend after Mothers Day. 

What an amazing festival weekend! Check the Events tab for contest winners...if you don't find them for the event you are interseted in, check back, they'll be on the web as soon as possible.

Each May, Boyne City MI fills with hundreds of mushroom lovers from around the country who come seeking that elusive delicacy-the marvelous morel. Found in nearby woods and clearings, morels are favored by those who know their 'shrooms.

Boyne City hosts the National Morel Mushroom Festival and the Boyne Valley Lion's National Morel Mushroom Hunt each year, and for a few short days, everything is all about mushrooms. Restaurants prepare exotic, morel-laden entrees,  local songsters sing of the morel (click on the player to the left to listen),  secret hunting places (maybe) and recipes (definitely) are shared, and everybody goes on the mushroom hunt. A good year can yield thousands of the mouth-watering treats. But, even when a dry spell or late spring makes morels scarce, morels can be tasted at the 'Taste of Morels' and the festival is always fun for everyone.
