Mushroom Lovers -- Get Ready!

Each May, Boyne City fills with hundreds of mushroom lovers from around the country who come seeking that elusive delicacy-the marvelous morel. Found in nearby woods and clearings, morels are favored by those who know their 'shrooms.

Our town hosts the 47th annual Boyne City Mushroom Festival and National Morel Mushroom Hunt on May 17-20, 2007, and for a few short days, everything is all about mushrooms. Restaurants prepare exotic, morel-laden entrees, kids create morel-themed art, local songsters sing of the morel, recipes are shared, and everybody goes on the mushroom hunt. A good year can yield thousands of the mouth-watering treats. But, even when a dry spell or late spring makes morels scarce, the festival is always fun for everyone.
