Never intending to go shrooming this year, my friend was on her dad's property doing so when I was in town and she told me to swing by. I had my three children with me on this beautiful spring day and was going to have a picnic lunch anyhow, so we did so on the tailgate of my friends truck where her and another friend were hunting shrooms. One of them yelled "found one", so I took the kids, one whom I was holding, the youngest, 2, to see where the mushrooms came from since dad had just picked some a few nights before. They looked at it, and just then my step-daughter tripped over a yellow I spotted, my other daughter found one and I spotted another, while my two friends were down to there level having trouble spotting them. My friend said okay Erica I guess I'll see you later, you need to take your kids and go. She was a disgrunted mushroomer I said yeah I'll go, I have one mushroom for each kid. It was just so funny, and I know my kids will remember it forever, like I do my first time shrooming.

Sounds like "sour grapes" to me. I bet if she had let you all stay,
the kids would have helped her find a lot more than she did.

I've been looking for Morels pretty much every since I can remember.....one thing I know for sure is your probably gonna step on a few , kids just do a few more , but thats how you learn to look !!!!!! Hopefully your children will have many years of "shrooming " and this is how it starts!!
