Nice job Bettendorf and fungusfinder. I'm drying 150 or so at the moment B, open air, laid out on a table and with a fan. This has worked well. My attention was drained after about 6 hours today. I sense the season ending within the coming week. Despite much needed rain, 80 degree temps are the death knell for morels. The rapid growth of ground cover will further usher in the end times. The morel apocalypse is upon us.
I also remember the extraordinary outings of the late 60s after the Dutch elm disease ravaged the woods and left countless hundred-year old elms dead in its wake. I recall a gentle draw between two knolls, just off the gravel road, not far from where I grew up in Jones County. 3 or 4 massive elms, each with bark peeling and white branches twisting to the sky on the south-facing side of the draw. The draw was literally filled with huge yellows, everywhere. We would fill bags upon bags for day after day...they just kept coming!
