[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, Robo,

Morels are yummy, and often abundant, but it would be about like eating 
iceberg lettuce.  With only 18 Calories per cup, a hiker would need 250 cups 
per day -- 15.5 gallons -- to total 4500 Calories.  Sorry:  A subsistence 
scrounger wouldn't get to sauté them in oil to increase the number of 
Calories.
