Morel Mania: All About Morels
Presented by Tom Nauman
Tom Nauman's first mushroom hunt was while he was still "in the womb" and he has continued his passion for finding the elusive morel for more than 68 years. He has taken 697 people morel hunting in one event. So much for morel hunters not sharing their honey-holes!
Mr. Nauman is the founder of The Illinois State Morel Mushroom Hunting Championship, which is now evolving into Morel University. He also founded Morel Mania Inc, a provider of mushroom books, collecting bags, walking staffs, and other merchandise to mushroom enthusiasts throughout the world.
