๐Ÿค  This Will Be My 57th Season of Hunting the Same Areas that My Dad first Carried Me into..when I was only 2 yrs old in 1965
I'm Not Studied up on all the New Sience that is Available in Our Age of Online..
I Just "Love the Hunt" and I Still Find Morels Almost every time I go, sometimes a few Sometimes a lot.. it is very Exciting to find a bunch like 50, 100 or 300..
But I believe we will all agree ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ’ฏ
It's the "Love of the Hunt" and just being in the woods is Always Our Heart โค
๐Ÿค  I hope this year as we all find Our way on down the trail together on Here..
That we will make time to take some Pictures of Cool, interesting things we see along the Way,
Maybe like a beautiful sunrise as you begin your hunt in the morning.. then pics of Morels Growing...
and when you find yourself looking face to face with a perfect Example for a ๐ŸŒณ Tree Identification ๐ŸŒณ please take some pictures and share them with All of us...
๐ŸŒฒ and just as well if you find a Tree you are Not Sure of ..share some good pics of it and we can All help to identify what it is.๐ŸŒฒ
๐Ÿ„ Also when Our Morels are done, STAY IN THE WOODS..We will Continue finding Many Other types of Edible Fungi ๐Ÿ„ all Summer and Fall into Winter ....
Ok โค Thank You Everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š
Let's get on down thru the Woods together and check in here often as You Can..
See ya soon
from Wade ๐Ÿค 
Love the Hunt

Do you think the morels will be confused too and pop up early too?

Robin, are those daffodils in your yard? No signs of flowers up here. We just tapped the other day. Going to boil tomorrow or Sunday. I heard some sandhill cranes yesterday while I was dumping sap bags.
@celticcurl This is my friends up in Noblesville north of Indianapolis. But Just seen today that my hyacinths are peeking out of the ground.

And How about this question,
* if you had to choose one day to Morel Hunt your favorite spots every year..
That you know you would absolutely ๐Ÿ’ฏ find Morels ..
What day/date would you choose....
* Mine would be April 24th every year.
I usually find some before And Always find some after...



* but April 24th has never failed in my Area, every year for my 58 years of Morel Hunting.

In southern Indiana, I would start on April 14th

Go to the Kentucky page to follow the timeline. I 1st reported on the 28th that a person I know found black morels on 2/27 with a pic of the receipt attached. Later I reported additional finds with a pic attached. Iโ€™m not understanding the remark about the dates not adding up. I will be hunting my farm in the Mammoth Cave area this weekend and will report
