Welcome to the madness dilligaf, dont give up! and thanks for the excellent reply oz! The bit about the soil PH and not wasting time in unproductive areas, makes sense. I live in Norwich bordering an old farm, and Mohegan park with plenty of big Ash trees and some old apples and Elms. In fact, on my property, we have live and dead elms and some of the elms are in a low area with may apples around them, yet no morels. I've been foraging for a few years but last year I found five little morels on a friends property near a big apple stump. This year, around the stump, I found 5 more morels, that's it. I will keep checking there but if it follows last years pattern, that's all I will find. Also, Up in the Scotland area, I've found more primish area with plenty of ash and elm.
I spent a lot of time in the woods last season, got those 5 teasers and lime disease for the first time in my life. I'm not giving up but I really tiered of videos of massive hauls out in the midwest!
I downloaded some CT bedrock maps last night and am doing some recon planning. Those maps challenging to read

this could be a separate topic in itself.
Thanks
