Old Elm, that's the spirit! Obsessions can be a dangerous thing, but I will not lie, I can't drive anywhere without it turning into a scouting excursion.
Now the snow just won't stop. Supposed to get another half foot this weekend, another 4 to 5 inches next week. least here in the cities. moisture good for the mushrooms, but man, we keep getting too much and I worry everything in the low country will be flooded out with no merkles. any other thoughts on this?
I know my honey holes have gotten the most snow ever recorded according to Accu Weather. If we can just slow walk into spring and then get rain it could be a good year.
If anyone likes a good YouTube Morel Score ? : Many others on these threads have mentioned CreatorWise , which is always an excellent choice ! May I also suggest videos by Neralich ! Neraly and His Buddy Empty Pockets find Weight ! Enjoy ☺
Hi everyone. My name is Brad, and I've been lurking here for a few days now. I live in St Paul, and I'm fairly new to foraging. Just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the useful info on this site. I've read the 2018 MN season thread thoroughly and learned a ton. Looking forward to hitting those SE facing hills in about a month! If I manage to find morels, I'll report back.
Welcome, your in one of the top states if not the top one for Morels. Wisconsin could be number one as well. Mid May is generally go time. Learn as much as you can about elm identification.
Thanks guys. I didn't hunt morels last year, and in fact haven't since my parents used to take me out when I was a kid. Over the last few years I've been finding some real nice chicken of the woods up near some family land near McGregor. That and fiddleheads have been the only things I've really foraged up until now. Hoping to change that this year.
Learning to ID elm trees is what I'm concentrating on now. I think I'll get the hang of it. I find myself rubbernecking as I drive these days. I'm sure some of you can relate. You'll be the first to hear if I meet with any success.

My advise is to stop now! Once you start looking for elms on every road trip you have the virus. It's not pretty, 95% of the population will wonder what happened to you. It's only here where other afflicted individuals share the burden you carry. If decide to proceed welcome aboard.
br5 hit it right on the head. It is addicting,friends will not understand you, take vacation and hit the woods? instead of going on a cruise? get this person some help please. The dog will love you tho,ha
Any tips on reading/finding soil maps to target specific areas? I've read about soil composition and morel growth but the DNR sites are hard to navigate and find the needed info. Is soil even a big deal vs temps and dead trees etc? Some say yes others no...
Hey AIM, I've found morels in clay mix soil, black dirt, sand, etc... Moisture in the soil is important, and temps are a big deal because there is a range that morels prefer, and they don't stray from it. That's why they only grow in the spring here, and the flush starts early down south and works its way north up into Canada as the temps rise. Out west in the mountains they will find morels growing in summer at higher elevations.
As for dying/dead trees, for MN anyway, Elms are huge for grays and yellows. Also a few others once and while like apple trees, cottonwood, and a pine here and there. Although I haven't experienced this "yet", aspens for blacks in early spring.
Ahhhhhh, its starting. I wish everyone the best this season, it sure looks pretty good so far, but things can change. Son it going to collage at Winona state, went down there to check it out. Talk about steep hills. might go down there and check it out. I am sure it gets pounded, steep hills funnels everyone in the same spots.
