Talking about morels found in 2013. I found four greys this afternoon in SE Arkansas, Phillips County. I had to ignore my cold to save them from freezing tonight, Mar. 25, 2013

Temps here have been in the 40's for highs during the past week and near freezing at night. I think it froze last night. I'll probably wait 4-5 days to go out again. Temps are supposed to steadily rise for the next week or so and be in the 70's by Mon. I expect to find a bunch by then. I'll bet that they will be showing up along the Ark R. in Little Rock by Monday too.

And, yes, what was happening on the OK board is definitely not what I like to see going on.
Glassman, I suspect that morels will be popping up in your area by mid-next week if they are there and this warm-up continues.

Clay, welcome back! If it hadn't been for the recent warm weather you'd probably have to brush snow aside to find any morels! I suspect if you were in this part of the state we'd be camped out at our early spots to see who could find one first.I hope you have great luck this year. I hope to get back out by Mon and expect to see a bunch that have popped up since last Mon. Boone, I live in SE Ark at Stuttgart. Slim, I always counted on the middle two weeks in Apr to find them in the Ozarks in the 90's but it has gradually moved earlier.
Thanks Jerry,Ill be down at Hot springs the 12th-15.I think ill look around there while my wife and endlaws go to the Races.Im not much on the race's,would rather be out in the woods hunting.Wifes a little mad bbbuuut she knows that she should'nt plan anything during mushroom season.Oh well I'll make the best of what I can.

Boone, As cool as it is this year you may have some luck around Hot Springs. I've never found any morels or had much other luck at the track. Where abouts are you coming from? I'm hoping to get out for awhile on Mon. This warm weather and moisture surely has helped a few more to pop up!

Hey Boone I work in hot springs we have found a few there but not many and not in a couple of years. In 09 we found a patch of about 20 big yellows the size of a 20oz coke bottle but that spot hasn't done anything since. Went out all day yesterday. Drove about 60 miles and walked about 20. Between Glenwood, hot springs,mt. Ida. Nothing!

Hey Jerry do you ever hunt around the Dover area? And if yes ever had any luck? I have family in that area but they tell me they don't grow in that area. I just can't see that being true

Finally found 2 today. One was so old it just crumbled. The other was very fresh yellow. The grass was knee high. Found the dried out one first. looked around the tree three times on my hands and knees on the fourth time I stared pulling grass and about 10 in away I found the fresh one. What kind of tree has little limbs all over the trunk. They come out about an inch and turn up?

Found three nice fresh yellows at the same spot I found some greys last Mon. Also found two greys near a fallen sycamore tree and a tiny grey next to an ash. Really thought I'd find more, what with the warmer weather, maybe after this cool spell they'll finally get down to business. A friend reported finding some greys north of Fort Smith over the weekend.
Turkey hunter, I haven't hunted around Dover but I sometimes drive north of that town and find them in the higher hills. I'm sure they are in the Dover area, no reason not to be that I could think of. I'm sure there are ash, sycamore, cottonwood and other host trees there. If you can find some cottonwood that were blown over this winter you have a good chance of coming across some.
Glassman, way-to-go, it's a start. They sure are slow this year so far.
