Fried pumpkin blossoms taste a lot like morels - not quite as good but close.
Really? Fried pumpkin blossoms? Are you talking about the pumpkin plant's open flower, or unopened bud?

But a question to you. I grew up warned to beware of poisonous mushrooms in the wild. How do you know, in your picking, which mushrooms are safe to eat?
Actually very few mushrooms are poisonous, however everyone reacts differently, I know people that get ill from morels. There are some mushrooms that are perfectly edible unless mixed with alcohol, and it only takes a little even as much as a week before or after the mushrooms are ingested.
Morels are a very safe mushroom as even the false morel is easy to tell apart.
Morels only appear in the spring and only for a short period of time.
Until you have had fresh sauted morels on a good rare stake, you have not lived.
That was our supper last night...
