RURAL PENFIELD – For those who worked closely with Don Humphrey at the Middle Fork Forest Preserve, they always knew when the first morel mushroom popped out of the ground.

"When it was morel time, that's when Don would shave his beard off," said Kim Cambron of rural Rankin. "We all knew that he'd seen the first morel of the year."
