Fourth generation morel hunters John and James at the Michel family farm near Richland Center.
There’s just something about morel mushrooms the don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it season, the thrill of the hunt, the flavorful, earthy, meaty payoff that captivates foragers, foodies, hobbyists and chefs alike. Next month, thanks to a collaboration between Orange Shoe Gym owner Scott Michel and Food Fight Inc. co-founder Monty Schiro, morel lovers will get the chance to feast on chef-prepared morels while supporting local nonprofit Centro Hispano of Dane County with every bite.
“It came about pretty organically,” says Food Fight managing partner Jordan Bright. “Scott and Monty are personal friends. Scott’s been foraging morels seasonally and had the idea that his hobby could do some good in the Madison community.”
