Five time winner of the National Morel Hunting Championship Anthony Williams will be at the Miller Library to give tips on where to find and how to pick morels.

Morels are wild mushrooms foraged from wooded areas during the spring months, usually March to June. When cooked, they have a delicate, nutty flavor. Because morels are foraged and have a short season, they can be hard to find, and when you do, they are often expensive, sometimes $20 to $30 per pound.

 Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first time picker, you’re bound to find a new perspective to gathering the illusive morel mushroom! 

Registration is required. Register here.

Learn how dialect, place, and identity are connected, and in particular, how sounding like a Yooper and what it means to be a Yooper are inextricably linked. Michigan author Kathryn Remlinger, Ph.D., of Grand Valley State University, will give insight into the intriguing history of how Michigan’s Upper Peninsula developed its colorful and culturally distinctive Yooper dialect and identity.

See how this connection has developed over time and is a result of economics, such as the tourism industry, our beliefs about who is and who is not a “real” Yooper, and our ideas about what a Yooper should sound like. She will show many examples collected over the past 19 years, including tourist souvenirs, signs in public spaces, movies, and social media.
