Those are just babies. I understand your excitement and am happy for you, but why pick 'em at that early stage of their development? Don't be so greedy. If you pick them before they mature and sporulate then the cycle of reproduction is broken. Please be more thoughtful about the fungi in the future. It's not all about today. It's about ensuring, through our behavior, that there are plenty of Morels to find year after year, decade after decade. That's why we pinch or cut the fruits instead of damaging the mycelium. That's why we use mesh sacks instead of plastic bags.found my first ones this year, 10 that could fit on a quarter head but it’s a start.
Wow.....If it’s public ground I say pick what you can when you can. If private yeah could’ve left to grow but not worth having someone become rude, demeaning, and calling people greedy. Keep your drama to Facebook walkabout and do what your mama preached as a kid and if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything. Let people live there own lives.Those are just babies.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to brag about picking those babies you obviously don't understand the basic principles of foraging.

I guess we can all agree that we don't all agree on some things.Wow.....If it’s public ground I say pick what you can when you can.

Good morning Gutterman. I appreciate your input and perspective. Thanks for sharing.What do we not agree on? The fact that your demonstrative to others? The fact that each person has the right to hunt as they please without trolls coming for them? The fact that people need to learn to live there own lives and let others live theirs? Or the fact I guarantee even though I’m a sinner to a god like yourself I bet I pick more morels every single year in those spots where I’m not thinking of the fungi as you said? I’ve picked the same areas my entire life and my father did before me and the morels are plentiful. I’m done with the back and forth and hate that this site has become like Facebook with the trolls and people always having something to say about things not there business. Last thing how’s the weather up there on the cross?

I was told yesterday that the mountain I live on isn't proper soil.. there's a lot of Laurel and pine... There's no tulip poplar.. very little ash or slippery elm.. the picture I just posted was in a dead hole in some kind of elm I believe.Go back to your post and hit the three lil horizontal bars on left hand screen.

It worked! And yes they look quite devilish to me. I heard that they primarily grow on oak, but a hardwood is a hardwood so Elm could be a possible host as well.I was told yesterday that the mountain I live on isn't proper soil.. there's a lot of Laurel and pine...

It may have been an oak.. I'm not real keen on identifying leafless trees I'll get thereIt worked! And yes they look quite devilish to me. I heard that they primarily grow on oak, but a hardwood is a hardwood so Elm could be a possible host as well.
Trees are tough for sure. Just learn 1 new tree each season. Really focus on just one type. In a year you'll know 4 up and down in and out. Focus on the habitat. Just like the trees can tell us were mushrooms will likely be the habitat will tell you what kind of trees you might find... Keep hunting!It may have been an oak..

I highly recommend "Mushrooms Demystified" by David Arora. Very good info on habitats and treesIt may have been an oak.. I'm not real keen on identifying leafless trees I'll get there
