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

Any Other Hippies here on Our Morelscom site? View attachment 44837 Any Other Hippies here on Our Morelscom site
If you count using every kind of drug that i could find in the 70's as being a hippie, then I must admit it. Good thing I learned a lesson or I'd be dead! It's still winter here in the NE corner but its time to go scouting!

them are beauties! I like them in a clear Aisian soup. I use to find a lot of them but the last few years they have disappeared in this area. I don't know why?

(Northern ohio) Went out today expecting to find nothing and thatโ€™s exactly what I did๐Ÿ˜. My first ever March Morel! Usually find them first week of April in this spot. First found 7 blacks last year 4-10-22. Picked 8 today 3-26-23. So about two weeks ahead of schedule. Ground temps 39-41. Seen over 20 will go back in few days to round up some more. Picked these 8 for a meal. Mayapples barely up 1โ€ or less. Ramps 3-4โ€ at most. Woods hardly greened up at all. It begins! View attachment 45066
Hard to believe that those blacks will come up in 40*! You must be on the same parallel as me. I'm on the Mi.- In. state line and my lake temp. is the same. I usually wouldn't even think to look this early but I have a spot that produces blacks around tulip poplar. Is that a dark black sandy loam where your finding? Next weeks weather is finally looking better!!!

After last week of 70's and 80's the woods have exploded with green! I went out for my first attempt yesterday and found one black about thumb size. This morning has been snowing on and off so this should slow things down. If we get some rain this week It will be a good season up here in the NE corner of the state. This start up is a week or two earlier than normal.

So what everyoneโ€™s thoughts about this cold stap this weekend
Only prolongs the season. the best year I ever had was 50* temps for the whole month of May. I found a 14''er on my birthday! May 23. I went back to my spot that I found one black last Sunday and doubled my output. So I'm up to 3 now! I'm letting them grow. My buddy is starting to find small yellows around Huntington. It's slowly heading north and thats a good thing!

what is it with middle age guys with grey beards wearing camo that makes them look like good mushroom hunters?? I think were all the same breed!

87 more tonight. 1.23 lbs. winding down fast. Saturday will probably be my last outing
Parrothead, you have surely deserved all of them shrooms. Seams like you've had a bad few years lately. Well done this year!

I would image northern Indiana gets on fire this coming weekend. They had more rain and the morels werenโ€™t started before the heat. Itโ€™s been cool so itโ€™s delayed. Central and south were most likely below average. Just my opinion
your opinion is spot on! It should be a great season up here.

How has you black morel season been in your location buddy?
I've only found one patch but have been finding about 20 at a time for 3 weeks. I left a couple so I could see if they make it to 4 weeks. Going back tomorrow.

Well Northern Michigan under the bridge is having another bad season due to lack of rain๐Ÿ˜ญ been here since Saturday we've only found a few lbs hoping to find more but no rain in the forecast we spent today out of the woods just enjoying our vacation we might hit some of the UP but still holding onto hope for here under the bridge
Thats 3 years in a row that there has been no rain up there. Sorry for your misfortune. At least you found a few to fry up.
