Meet ups

Anyone in the Morrilton, Arkansas area need a hunting buddy I am ready willing & able! Found some great spots that should be perfect but I am new to the moral hunting. Been on many mushroom forays with local mycologists so I am not new to fungus.

 

Wish I was near you mycologyluvr. I moved to western KY last June from PA. I was in a great club there, but no clubs here and no mushrooming buddies. I hunt almost year-round sometimes just to see what new species I can find.Would like to find someone else interested in fungi nearby!

 

I used to go on forays with Jay Justice. Haven't been able to in some time. I've been trying to get in touch with him to find out about the morel hunt in Dover. No luck yet sadly. Haven't met many shroomers around here. When I mention mushroom hunting people automatically assume I speak of active species. I just shake my head lol. One woman went around telling everyone I was drug dealer selling magic mushrooms. Really don't care for her much at all now

 

That is funny. Sad, but funny. I saw a lot of that in our club in PA, too. People came to a few forays and when we started handed them books and asking them to actually ID something... well, they were gone. I even went out on New Year's day looking for some old polypores to ID just because the weather was so nice (a luxury we never had in PA). I had great luck last summer spotting many species and I hope to see more this year. I must say I got a bit distracted by chanterelles.

 

I'm in Southern Indiana (Corydon area) and would love to find a hunting buddy or two.

 

I found a group to hunt with Went hunting last weekend. I found the first morel of the day & it was my first to ever find. In total we harvest about 35 small to medium & 1 false morel. Got to look through Jay Justice's new book as well. Man oh man morels are so yummy!!!!!! I have been missing out all these years.

 

So happy for you mycologyluvr! I know some people really guard their spots, but they miss so much that you can gain from being around other people of like mind! You can learn so much and it makes both the good and bad days better.

 

Anybody in NC?

 

I live in Virginia Beach, but would travel to join others in Virginia. I don't think morels grow in Virginia Beach.

 

Morel season is coming people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'd love to meet up with you, I've never been foraging for them and would love for someone to show e the ropes.
