2018 MN season
 
#70 ·
Hi everyone! I'm a new mushroom hunter and would love to learn from some more experienced foragers. I've hunted for a few seasons now and have yet to find a morel. Lots of ramps in spring but no morels where I've been looking. I take that back, my 4 yr old found one last year - the only person in my family to ever find one! I've had some success finding chanterelles and oysters and a fair amount of chicken of the woods later in the season. Still searching for my first morel though and since the season seems so short I want to make sure I'm ready to go when they pop this year. I'm planning to sign up for an upcoming class put on by the gentleman forager and hope to learn more about where to find morels. If anybody is willing to help get me on my feet finding morels I'd be thrilled! Happy hunting

I'm actually in central Indiana lol.. I'm just browsing the board looking for info.. I'm trying to time my vacation this year so that I can hunt from southern Indiana all the way up into Wisconsin or Minnesota.. The problem is I only have 25 days I can take off work lol.. Last year I took my days off all at once.. This year I'm thinking I'll split them up.. When is prime time for you guys normally?
First Few days of May is my "guess". We are having a wierd Spring so far

Old Elm glad you have not lost the knife yet, ha. got to admit its pretty handy. a nice slow warm up is always good, as long as we get rain. Maymotherload, ramps are great. I just use the leaves and cook them in butter till there the size of shoe strings, rival morels on steak IMO. not nearly as fun to look for compared to morels. Fiddle-heads I pickled last year, they where good.

stilz I am game to go. Maybe we can get OldElm out too. Dont worry about giving away your spots we got a code to not go to another persons spot unless invited. I have a lot of spots, not big spots but enough. When you start off your pretty protective of your hard earned spots, which you should be, when oldelm invited me out it was really fun, only went out 2-3 times I think. didnt go last year but kind of opened a new door for me. would be fun.
