Also, I have purchased fresh morel's from Dominion store several times this summer. I don't know if all Dominion stores carry them, but this is the first time I have found morel's at a Supermarket. Otherwise you could just phone the list of specialty stores, Pusateri's, etc. and see if they are in stock. I couldn't find fresh Shitake mushrooms at T&T this week, and did find them at Longo's.

Morels, as well as the more common oyster shitake etc. I remember seeing some lobster (?) mushrooms there once. I have also bought, but not this year, some hunks of puffball mushrooms from the stand directly in the centre at the north end of the building.

But haven't seen lobster mushrooms anywhere this year (yet). Perhaps in the Fall.
