Title
The Elusive Morel Among Violets
Artist
Alexandria Weaselwise Busen
Medium
Painting - 18x24 Oil On Stretched Canvas
Description
This is a depiction of a black morel mushroom "morchella"; not only a delicacy coveted by both old world and new world chefs, but a hunting season recognized by devout foragers throughout Europe and the United States. The Morel Mushroom is not only prized for its monetary worth in the culinary field...it has an air of mystery that surrounds its elusiveness as it never fails to bend the rules pertaining to its growth patterns and even its inability to be classified as a "true mushroom" as its species is a prehistoric form of the modern mushroom. The magic that this "mushroom" holds is its ability raise even the laziest of "couch potatoes" from the sofa and send each tracking through forest, field, briar patch and flood lain in search of a delicacy yet unrivaled by any other wild edible. Be warned, though. Once you taste one and are fortunate to follow in the footsteps of a sage morel hunter that is kind enough to teach you how to hunt the Elusive Morel, your dreams will be haunted in every season by visions of them...just barely beyond your reach...and you will awake with a hunger that cannot be satiated until they return...

I have not seen a morel since my youth. As your description indicates--you should be a novelist as your pen is as mighty as your brush--hunting the Morel is not only a coveted sport but getting someone to reveal their hunting places is as much a game as finding the prize--but, then, that was long ago and not so much in vogue in this modern video game world.
