Found a dozen or so thimble size, yesterday the 18th in Lodi.
Just inside a woodline, 5-10' or so from yard.
A bit of an east facing slope if anything, didn't check ground temp.

Any one finding anything anywhere in Central Wisconsin the last couple of days or did that extreme heat shut everything down?

A friend found some nice young ones (blacks) near wild rose this morning....just starting IMO

Nothing in Waukesha County right next store. The ground is relatively dry, though damp under the heavy growth. I'm afraid we'll see bust for 3rd year straight here (NE corner of County).

I take this back. The rain must have helped. I found 1.5lbs in one small area tonight. It got dark too fast to check the deep woods.

@guff76 Finally found one. But I guess that's why I'm In The Wild.

La crosse county is getting some larger yellows in now. Yesterdays find.

Morels are coming along, finding tons of gollden oysters this year.

Barron County is finally on the board. Very small morels right now. Also fond very young fawn hid under a pile of branches.

All the spring mushrooms are out, turkeys are everywhere, Apple trees and lilacs are blooming, baby deer. It's really starting to look like spring!🍄

Found another pound of golds in NW Waukesha County today. Too many fallen Ash trees to reach the back woods.

 

[twisted minds]

These 2 down trees were right next to each other. Easily over 30 lbs. right here. I only had 2 mesh bags with me, and could only harvest about 25%. Goldens are everywhere this year.

Hate too see this, but spots where they are rotting on stem already. The heavy rains last couple days aren't helping.

O wow that's awesome! It happens to you every year, you have that magic touch of being able to walk up to them

Found a nice healthy but young patch by Chippewa Falls a few days ago. Been searching known spots around Chippewa and Eau Claire, and have been noticing far fewer freshly-dead elm trees everywhere around here. All the old haunts only have the old dead elms that don't produce anymore, and maybe one or 2 viable host trees. So far, most of them have had no morels. IDK, but the conditions seem excellent for morels, BUT the dead elms aren't there to host them. Anyone else seeing this? I've long been impressed by the cycle of elm tree life, always dying off, yet still thriving. This cycle sustains the morel habitat nicely. This year, I see a lot of thriving, but FAR less dying. Our ash trees, on the other hand, are dying off more now, thanks to the EAB bugs.
I am feeling pretty grateful for my nice little mess o' shrooms so far, but not so optimistic about future harvests.
