I did some research and scoured the forums for information before choosing a spot for my first morel foraging adventure this past Wednesday, and I lucked out! We came back with about a pound of fresh morels, and Nik (my housemate and incredible chef...) cooked me the most insanely delicious morel mushroom risotto for my birthday today! The meal was just out of this world. First time finding them, and first time eating them... and all around just the best experience. Thanks to everyone for posting your photos - it helped a lot!

My second year seriously morel hunting and found 3 new spots, 150 morels in total (but might keep looking at higher elevation). Mostly elm, apples, and occasionally ash and tulip. Chanterelles are so abundant in my area but the appeal of the elusive morel keeps you coming back!

Lol.... I sure know I do by this time of year. I think I am done. Over all, 10lbs on the season with a few new PG’s. I really expected a lot more out of my old spots this year given the epic weather. But unfortunately, not quite as bountiful as I had hoped. Grateful to get out none the less! Chanterelles’ here we come!!!
