Training dogs to sniff morels, truffles?

[Jim Pirko]

I am sure that you could train a dog (esp. a pointing breed) to locate morels. I have thought about it. 
First problem is that (at least here in Michigan) one is not allowed to 'train' a dog in the field 
from April 1 to July 15. Now, exactly what a conservation office would do if you encountered one is 
open for debate. However, I believe that would be an unlawful act. Check first.
