Wendy Porter and her father Roger Jensen show off the morel mushrooms they found in the woods.
Wendy Porter is hunting morel mushrooms with her father near the Missouri River. The 51-year-old Nebraskan has been hunting them for three decades. She even started a Facebook group for morel mushroom hunting in Nebraska in 2018.
“To my surprise, people were wanting to join left and right, and I mean, daily, I get probably 20, 25 people wanting to join. That's pretty cool,” she says.
The group now has more than 2,500 members.
