Amy, Congrats on the big "score"...In addition to frying them up in flour and butter, I've always made a point of drying my Morels for later use in soups and stews.
BTW...and I wish I could locate the pictures I took to put show you what several dozen bushels of Morels look like on the drying racks...I got in on the tail end of a mushroom score along the banks of the Minnesota River a few years back that was of biblical proportions. In one week my friends family harvested well over a dozen BUSHELS of Morels. The day I hunted with them, my "take" alone was 4 overflowing paper grocery sacks. Interestingly conditions were very similar to what we have going on here right now...lots and lots of rain, followed by several sunny days and temps in the 70's. If it were me, I'd be out there hunting again this weekend.
