After the rains last week, morels erupted. Pete Banach had a special outing, including finding a pair of shed antlers.
“Will County!!!!!!,” he messaged. “They are popping. Got to my spot after work. . . . That was only an hour of looking.”
MOTW, the celebration of morels and their stories around Chicago outdoors, runs as warranted, generally on Sundays (this is a special Wednesday edition) on the Sun-Times’ outdoors page. Submit nominations on Facebook (Dale Bowman), on Twitter and Instagram (@BowmanOutside) or email (BowmanOutside@gmail.com).
