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.
