Went out for a bit today but still nothing in York/Cumberland counties.

Wandered around for about an hour with the kids in Michaux. Nothing yet.

Went for a hike for a couple hours today, just to enjoy the warm weather up here. Well I did find something I wasn't expecting. There were some ramps popped above the leaves.

I also found some scarlet cups. Now if can find the gyros I know it won't be long for the morels.

Where you from?

Howdy all! Good to see familiar names back in the chat for another season…. Feels close, I may get out for a walk this week, definitely next. Does anyone have any opinions on soil temperature? I keep checking in my yard and it’s gone up about 3 degrees this week, yesterday was 56. I’d imagine in the woods it is lower since my yard is all sun.

Just find a place in the shade and take another measurement. Of course, at this time of year, the woods won't be solidly shaded, but there will be some shade that will reduce soil temps. You could get some kind of an idea what it's like where you hunt.

New hunter here! I went out a lot last year for the first time but had no luck. Looking forward to this season! Built a house with a wooded area. All the right trees, and a bunch that are dead/dying. Wish me luck!

Thanks, @HawkeyeMerkels ! The season is so tricky in Pennsylvania! The temperature swings from day to day are wild, not to mention the difference in day vs. night temp can be 80° and 30°. Finding that perfect sweet spot is really difficult.

If I knew a spot they definitely grew, I could just frequent it every day, but I'm going in blind. Hell, I even tried buying morels last year and then walked around an area they should be able to grow in with the purchased ones in a mesh bag hoping there were still spores dropping!

Wish me luck!

Nice meal of blacks Jim. They are a little bigger than what I found. I think next week my black spots should do pretty good and maybe a couple of early yellow spots.

Welcome, Just remember the rights and you will find them. Right temperature, right trees, right soil, and right moisture. Good luck.
