Mushroom Hunt Now - May. 6, 2010, 9am on 4/15 thru noon on 5/6 Registration allows the user to freely collect any mushrooms for them to keep and allows them the chance for prizes. Registration fee is $15.00 per person and includes admission to the park, a Morel Mania Shroom Sack (retail value - $14.00), and allows you to keep any mushrooms you find. Members of the park may also participate for only $10 per person. The Mushroom Hunt will begin at 9am on April 15th and run until noon on May 6th. Winners of the contest will be announced at 12:30 P.M. on May 6th. Tom Nauman of Morel Mania http://morelmania.com/ will be announcing the winners and presenting the awards. During the hunt, registered Mushroom Hunters returning to hunt will still have to pay admission to the park (non-members) but will not have to repay to compete provided they are using the official Shroom Sack. Prizes All found mushrooms should be brought to the Park Visitors Center for inspection. Contestants will receive one raffle ticket for each morel mushroom found by the hunter. Opportunities will also be available for purchase of raffle tickets. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the longest morel, the heaviest morel, and the largest morel in girth. In the likely event that these categories overlap, the individual possessing the morel in question will have first pick at the prizes.
