Hmmmm.. You..Found those, and planning to go back in two weeks ..Hmmmmm...
Well I Assume that You know your Spots, and know them Very Well..
But when I find in My Spots, like Yall found in your spots..
I'm back checking again every 4 days at the most...
But I here you, Our Season here in South Central Indiana last 4 to 5 weeks...
So if you believe the 20 you found is just proof of your season beginning..I guess that in two weeks it should be the middle of your season..
Hmmmm... Never Mind 👍🏻
Thank You for Your Excellent Reporting..
🍄Love The Hunt🍄

You have to investigate that haul closely. What you have there is a typical yellow morel but in all 3 stages of growth at the same time. The babies are in worse shape than the adults. Better hope for a nice rain to rejuvenate or planning on a lot of those spots drying up. I heavily agree with wade when you find a patch with that much variety you need to go back within 3-4 days. 2 weeks you will be harvesting mushrooms that haven't even popped yet.

Ok everybody I work a 6 or 7 day work week this time of year and its a 2 and a half hour drive from my home i go when i can but i do work for a living if i miss a few then so be it we usually pick 500 to as many as 2000 in a good year in two states over a 6 week period we follow the bllom in elevation from 500 ft above sea level to about 5000 ft in the mountains wish i had time to go back every few days must be nice to have that much free time.also plenty of moisture in the woods should be a good year.

I still get my yard morels every year. My hunts are very relaxing and involve lots of recreational activities 😤 If I had to figure hours of driving into a hunt I doubt I would find as many as I do.
