The Hawk Eye
As the soil grows warm with spring's arrival, Kayla Schier and Ethan Jones look forward to taking their two children to their favorite spot to scour the earth for nature's delicacy.
The Burlington couple grew up hunting morel mushrooms with their families, Jones in Burlington and Schier in rural Mediapolis.
"I grew up on a farm and we'd always go mushroom hunting when the season hit — me, my mom and my brother," Jones said. "We'd spend hours out in the woods just picking mushrooms."
While Jones' morel experience took place in wooded areas, Schier's family turned to the cow pasture.
