Morels are still small, leaving to grow. In meantime figured hit the ramp patch one more time. They are reaching the end. But on a positive note, did get some nice young golden oysters. Woods are coming along nicely.

Found a singular morel by a tree that usually produces by the bike path. Sadly, they carpet bombed the rest of the trees that also occasionally do. Managed to find some about 1/4 mile up the path that didn't get manicured.

One of the rewards of morel hunting is giving them to old timers who can’t get out anymore, the smiles & stories are so worth it.

@Old Elm OK, I just considered myself as an oldtimer. Would you like my address to ship to, or should I pick up? Ha

OK, I'm about done thinking of eating Morels and using other mushrooms as filler for my addiction. Tonight was shrimp, scallops, shiitake and garlic fettuccine in an afredo sauce. View attachment 46630

Oh man am I happy, Got a small frying pan of tasty Morels. Monroe county. Found in wet semi open area at 61-62 degree 4" ground temp. Openish to southern sky. Other trees were 57-58 degrees 6-8" ground clutter, NOTHING. I had a friend follow me for over 40 yards. I run into them in the woods, but usually they try to drive me away from their nests. 14 Mushrooms. I'll take some to new friends, along with red and white stem pamps for teaching purposes.

Yep, one of a few different species known or referred to as false morels. Also affectionately referred to in my neck of.the woods as "brain shrooms". Don't eat them.

My side of Wisconsin is on the board. Picked up a few short of 3 dozen grays yesterday. I'll forward a picture when I get a chance.

Say, Old Elm, I have been hearing the opinion that one should leave a couple morels behind and not pick them for whatever reason. What is your take on that?

Say, Old Elm, what kind of tree is that? It looks too deeply furrowed to be an elm.

It’s an old Cotton wood that died last winter. I never find all the morels around a tree, so I go ahead & pick what I see. Good luck out there, hope you find a bunch.

Found my first few morels of the year in Green Bay, getting dried out they were. We plan to RV down and go to the morel festival in Muscoda this weekend, maybe run into some of youz guys as I check out those areas.

Ended up with just about 11 lbs. today. Some were already starting to rust and others brittle. May be a short season.

It's also not fair that you get slapped in the face a few times by buck thorn, impaled all over by prickly ash, and tripped up by wild grapevines walking a few football fields looking for these things all the while there's fifty of them just a few feet from where you parked the car!
