Morel bill vetoed

 

Morel hunters will still have to get their mushrooms inspected in Michigan.

 

Governor Rick Snyder has vetoed a bill that would have allowed anyone to pick and sell morel mushrooms without an inspection.

 

Snyder says there's been an increase in poisonings related to morel mushrooms and says it's important they meet the same safety standards as other foods.

 

The bill's sponsor, Representative Triston Cole, says the legislation was brought about by restauranteurs that were and are continuing to struggle to purchase fresh picked, seasonal morels.
