Perfect (breakfast) Storm

Olympia has a great farmer's market, right on the Puget Sound.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I found a mushroom vendor with a crate of wild foraged morels - the crown jewel of all fungus lovers.  I've seen them dried but never fresh; the batch you see below cost me $5 (they're $40 a lb).

So the next day, I sliced them up

and ate them with an Oakland Bay pork sausage patty (from pigs that only ate grass, forages and roots)

and then scrambled the mushrooms with an egg...

the morels weren't flashy - no crazy flavors or inexplicable musk;
but they sure packed a satisfying punch.
