Anyone finding morels?

[MnFn]

You had me going. I would have to bring big grain shovel to clear away a foot or more of snow to find one.

Hey Bryant, what state are you in? Seems like you are at the peak of the season.

After owning our property here in the southwestern North Carolina mountains for about 35 years and living here for 32 we found our first morels.  While on her walk with our dogs this morning my wife sat on a bench of our woodland native wildflower garden where she spotted what she thought was a morel. She came back to the house and looked it up in a mushroom book we have and sure enough that's what it is. I walked back to the area where she found the morel with my camera and before I got to the bench she had sat on I found another, then another. Three in all. I continued looking around but couldn't find any others. This was a pleasant surprise. I didn't harvest them because their value as a plant was more important than the little food value 3 morels have. We have found a few naturally growing ginseng plants in this area also. That's why we made it a native wildflower garden by adding may apples, black cohosh, yellow lady slippers, trilliums and other native wildflowers.

I was finally able to go out late this morning to look. Friday afternoon I drove 5 hours to get up Saturday morning and replace a door and some siding for my taxidermist buddy, then drive 5 hours back home yesterday.
The rain quit long enough today for me to take a walk. Glad I did.  I found 37 including several over 6 inches

Just a few here or there, nothing in good numbers.
I hope it happens this week, taking the kids to Disney on Monday.... I have a strange feeling my woods will blow up with mushrooms the second I get on the plane.

[chefrvitale]

They are up in good numbers, a short walk in my front woods filled my little mesh bag.

Probably won't be any in Wisconsin this year the grounds still frozen!

Ah, I remember Dean Torges starting a thread every year about morels.  Now I see other's posting on other platforms like they 'started it'. Too funny.  I miss Dean's contributions here.

[Terry Green]

Yes, Dean started it all!!!

This should be the week to get started seeking and finding them here in Southern MN, that is if I don't go mushroom blind. Which seems to happen all to often until you find the first one.

Found these yesterday. Going to be 90deg today,warmer than usual for us. Don't think I'll go out anymore. Glad to find what I did.

I found enough to flavor some venison steak but there were so many people in the woods that I'm going to have to look for a new spot.

Tell ya what guys, this has been a really bad year around here. We had snow and cold too late and the woods are bone dry. The dead leaves are actually gray. I found them only twice and friends around me having an equally hard time. Frustrating but it happens. I'm happy some guys are doing well

Just starting here.

I saw an item on the internet that over a period of 2 days a couple of guys in Idaho found 175 pounds of morels. I don't remember ever seeing a morel, and I've been hunting since 1964. I just didn't know anything about them.

Me either Sam..... Dean Torges started a thread here in 2003 and its an annual thing in his Honor. I've never even eaten one.  I like mushrooms though, grilled portable marinated with oil and vinegar then topped with parmesan cheese with venison or pork back straps... don't anybody wake me!!!
