Smoke/Dehydrate fresh Morel Mushrooms

So went camping this weekend with some great friends and did some mushroom hunting,,,, Well this is just part of them,, We were on 4 wheelers and went 5 miles in 5hrs!!!! Morels and Cauliflower mushrooms every where,,, We probably ended up with approx 30/bs of the large Cauliflower shrooms and around 6lbs of morels,, there were four of us picking.

This is just part of mine,,, 

So, I cut them in half length ways after cleaning well. then put on rack and into the smoker (vents open) for 2hrs at 135,

After two hrs I put some pit masters smoke on them for about 2hrs,,, 

Here are some pics 


Above is my small hometown, Town elevation is 3000ft,,, From where I took the picture at was 6100ft. 


Our crew,,, as you see on the from of my wheeler is a garbage sack full of Cauliflower Shrooms 


One batch 


cut in half 


I did just one rack,,, just to see how they would turn out.


above pic is starting to dehydrate and lower is 12hrs at 135* 


These will be good mixed with pepper corns in a grinder or store for a soup or stew this fall

Going out again this next weekend to find more 

I know my smoker is not full 

Thanks for looking
