Celebrate elusive morel at Up North annual festival this weekend
With Michigan smack dab in the middle of morel season, an annual celebration of the much-sought-after mushroom is this weekend.
Devotees can celebrate all things morels at the National Morel Mushroom Festival in Boyne City from May 15 through May 18. Now in its 65th year, the event will feature a morel-hunting seminar presented by Tony Williams, a five-time winner of the National Competitive Hunt, and a Morel Wine & Dine event sponsored by the Boyne Area Chamber.
Two seatings are available for the wine-and-dine event, where chefs will showcase morel-infused dishes. Tickets are $115 per person and available by calling 231-582-6222. Tasting tickets for the evening are available at $10 per person. Throughout the weekend, there will be entertainment events, a morel mushroom giveaway, craft shows and food truck vendors. For information, visit bcmorelfestival.com.
Morels are prized for their meaty flavor and cone-like shape. Foragers often find them in Michigan's forests and fields.
'Large burn sites in forested areas are ideal for morel mushroom hunting, especially in burned areas where jack, white or red pine once grew,' according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. It has produced an interactive map marking the state's burn field spots from the last couple of years that you'll find at michigan.gov.

Players can also select the Easy Pick/Quick pick option. Mega Millions retired its Megaplier feature and now has a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times.

You can watch Mega Millions drawing on YouTube. The winning numbers are also posted to the Mega Millions website and on the Michigan Lottery website. A jackpot winner has the option of taking an annuity or cash payment. The annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, according to the Mega Millions website. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one. "This helps protect winners' lifestyle and purchasing power in periods of inflation," according to the Mega Millions website. The cash option is a one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool. If two or more people win the jackpot in the same drawing, the money is shared equally among all winning tickets.
