Hoppy Bugs

      There are little bugs about the size of fleas that like to feast mostly on black natural morels and conica fire morels. There are some eating the top of this morel, note how it is crumbly. In the western commercial mushroom industry they are often refereed to as Hoppers.  They can pretty much consume your morels in the basket or refrigerator overnight. I have found that if I cut off their air supply they will die within 12 hours also any little white worms will crawl out of the mushroom.
