Hi @Cammie99 & Welcome! I would recommend reading up the Forum's past threads. Past years & also diff states. One can easily gather a wealth of info from other members experiences, successes &/or tribulations! Although daunting at first, do def get more into tree id. While out on your forays, make a log/mental note/gps coordinates/etc of symbiotic trees you come across, dead/dying/alive. Youtube & elsewhere on the interwebs can assist on tree Id. You've got the ambition to embark on the Hunt, so I have Faith you will Bag some of your own trophies 🍄 🍄🍄Hey everyone! Gorgeous pictures. I’ve been amateur foraging for a couple years and never seen morels. Does anyone have any particular state parks etc they could recommend? I’m not great with IDing trees yet. I live in hartford county!
Definitely learn some tree ID. You can make a slideshow on your phone with the trees you want to find. Or I do suggest the National Audubon society field guide to North American trees. It has great actual pictures of trees, and good descriptions. I keep that with me, and the Peterson field guide to mushrooms of North America. I'd go places near water, like The Housatonic, and Connecticut river.Hey everyone! Gorgeous pictures. I’ve been amateur foraging for a couple years and never seen morels.

So many of us have our fingers crossedMy goal of finding a huge patch has been thwarted by lack of rain. And some very bad health news might put me off foraging this year. I'm still going out while I can. The rain yesterday till tomorrow might help another flush come up, but I'm not sure. fingers crossed
