Ah, a sure sign of spring!
(The first T-man post on morels grin )

Looking at 6 inches of snow here tomorrow night. Wish I was hunting mushrooms. Thanks for keeping the dream alive for us northerners.

Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I went out the last two days and only found one. The mayapples here are just now breaking the surface. I usually use those to gauge when prime time is. Usually when I go out and find a bunch, the mayapples are all the way up and I have to sweep them aside to find the morels.

I find most of my morels growing around shagbark hickories, but I can't find much on the internet about the correlation between shagbarks and morels. Seems the main trees people find them around are elm trees according to what I see online. Anyone have a favorite type of tree to find morels around?

I like dead elms at the stage right where the bark begins to start sluffing off............

Got 30 some last weekend. Shroom, trout and turkey breast is spring tradition!

Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

Matt its been kinda a tough year so far, either it would be warm and dry or we'd get some rain and it'll drop below freezing at nights. Ive only found maybe 150 so far. This coming week should be good. Found a few today [Linked Image]
