I've had the privilege of them growing in my yard for nearly 10 years now. Black morels began showing up in my lawn a few years after I brought bags full from Ohio and threw 'em in a dehydrator on my porch. I believe, and it's entirely in the realm of possibility, that the spores found their way into the soil that day. Now, every year like clockwork they show up around the first week of April. As utterly kickass as this is, and I am extremely grateful, I can honestly say I much more prefer the hunt and all the uncertainty that may come with it
