Looked around my spots today. No good signs yet here in Danielsville GA other than privet budding. Waiting for the chick weed to give some cover. Morning temps too cold lately.

Put my eyes on 288 morels this morning. Next week should be a good harvest to start off. Looks like this is going to be a pretty good year for morels as I still have other spots that haven’t popped yet.

Howdy @Jpuette ..
So... I'm looking at your last two post, and this screenshot from You ..last year 2022
🍄 would you say these are adding up to show that your spots are poppin about the same time as last years?
🍄Normal? Early? or ??? View attachment 44664
Id say that everything is early this year. Usually the pop migrates across my property, this year it seems like everything is popped at the same time, at least 80% of my areas have some activity.

A week or more early. Considering the quantity that are out.

Jpuette, I have a fruitful spot in Forest Park, GA that I typically visit the last week of March. Wonder if they are a poppin now.
Only way to find out is to look.

Some updates from today. Going to have a decent harvest tomorrow. Been eating fresh ones every day this week. Not happy to see freezing temps in the next weeks forecast.

Jpuette,

I assume you are finding them near the creek. I'm curious as to what is the max distance from the creek bank you are finding them and how close to the banks you are finding them? Thanks for the great reporting!
From 70 to 300ft from south fork broad River bank.

Pretty good harvest today. 8 full tiers in the dehydrator. Where my GA folks at? I can’t be the only one having luck.

Back from India last night and found these beauties this morning. Nothing beats morels for breakfast. Georgia folks: get out there and get hunting. Just cause it’s been cold doesn’t mean you won’t find any, the only guarantee is if you don’t look.

India? Far out! Whatcha doing over there?
Had a work trip. I’m a mechanic/supervisor at a textile factory in Georgia and my company sent us to visit their factories over there. Was definitely an experience.

@Jpurtte you still picking or things slowing down
They’re still out there but slowed down a little due to cold snap. Rained today and warming back up so we shall see how they proceed.

Good pick today. Maybe slowing down. Should know for sure by next weekend as we have plenty of rain in the forecast.

Starting to pop with more frequency in Suwanee GA. The thunderstorm and warm temperatures really helped!!!
Very nice!
Update.

My spot is played out for this season. It’s run its course.

My haul for the season. These plus all the ones that went directly into my belly, not too shabby. Can’t wait for next year!
