Here, these come up just before morels in the spring, and taste slightly of citrus. We love them, as they are usually the first thing we find after winter. They pop up again at this time but there are usually a lot more choice mushrooms this time of year, so we don’t actively seek them like we do early.

Yeah, the Wikipedia said they smelled like watermelon rind. I unfortunately cannot confirm, because I didn’t think to smell it.

I ate one of these once. Was way far gone. Had the texture of pencil erasers.

I suspect this one was at that stage.
