So far all of those pictures look like they've been out for quite a while I would say past the halfway stage. When I know I'm right on the money I'm finding morels that are still tight and not so open pored. Good stuff 😎

@r0ck3m333
That's what I was thinking

 

[r0ck3m333]

When you find your 1st ones you should always take a hard look at them and try to figure out how long they have been exposed the tell tail sign is usually the color will be more yellow and the pores will be much more open you can't always go by the height of the stalk. On a good year they grow slow and get tall and turn yellow later But on a rougher earlier year they won't get quite as big but will turn yellow very quickly and spore out. Also keep an eye out for a new growth of baby morels while you are picking this 1st round. Happy hunts folks 😃

Wonder if they that lighter color cause of the Sandy soil. I've noticed that from pics of shrooms in the south they a lighter yellow color

It's from the sun😎

Are you kidding me? Ive checked all the early spots I have for 9-10 days and located 5 morels.. A neighbor who works heating & air brings me this he found in woods just off the guys back yard, in woods leading 60 ft to a creek at 6:00p local time …. We are 25 yrs a neighbor and I’ve fed him morels a couple dozen times over the years, and told him if you see them call me or pick them.. Well I am going in the morning with full premision to hunt the area out. Nice looking fresh, and its probably got 15 plus or minus days left in metro Bham. The longer you hunt morels, you gain almost unbelievable stories to both the upside & the downside

🍄The Mystery Will Always Be🍄
and it is a Large part of Our Love and Fascination with Morels..🍄
Therefore; as I try to make since of Morel Season beginning and the Progression,
I can except if I draw a wrong conclusion...
Even more; perhaps Every conclusion is inaccurate and remain inconclusive..
Because We just don't have All the information, Only a few of the Pieces..It's Mother Nature ..
and "The Mystery Will Always Be"
🍄🔮 So here is my Guess, from reports thus far..it seems like we have some Morels up about a week Early, and Some Not up Early, but are showing up in a normal date and time...
🌧🐢 What do Yall Say ALABAMA and Other States ..What's it turning Out to be in 2023🔮🌠
Whatever it is, We Always...
🍄" Love The Hunt "🍄

📞Hello Morel Season Calling 📞

You all might have a nice long season down there. The next 14 to 21 days are going to be below average temps for most of the country the way it looks. Sucks for us up north, looks like a long winter probably in Souther Wisconsin we are getting 4 to 8 inches of snow tomorrow night Lol

 

[newtimmy]

So pic from yesterday the neighbor, who doesn’t hunt morels, had found and brought to me 3

on Tuesday; has led to me investigating this action this morning, Weds (8th)

 

[newtimmy]

Yes these 55 were same patch that he had picked the 3 from

 

[Bob Gosnell]

Those are some nice ones, almost thinking of heading down there to find all my spots( your spots)!! Lol

 

[wade]

@Bob Gosnell Do it Man Go Go Go..
We'd All love to watch and follow along on here, to a Road trip Hunt..

 

[chonas]

Still none in my big producing spots in mad co. I'm coming to bham this weekend, mushrooms beware

 

[stasiakj]

Found 4 today. Still looking for a consistent area. Timmy has them all lol. BTW, Timmy found those 50 and was nice to enough to drop me a couple few (in the bowl). Thanks, bro, they were delicious!

 

[newtimmy]

Thoughts on timing for metro Bham. Found 3 fresh greys today at a faithful spot. They were 1.5” caps. Good sign we have some legs left to the season. With the moderate temperatures forecast and the great moisture we have Im guessing we have 10-15 days left for fruiting. But as stated, that is my guess, the morels don't always follow my guesses..

 

[r0ck3m333]

Anything under 3" at this point is gonna be the best thing that you could ever hope for I smell a nice long season for you guys
