Went out looking tonight but didn't find any in one of my spots, anybody find any yet?
 
None on LP on the weekend when I went looking. May be a little early yet with the cold spring. Although usually we have them by Mother's Day weekend.
 
I've been looking to! nothing yet.. Ive got pictures of some from april 21st last year. It did get warmer alot earlier last year.. I'd say after this next rain an a little more sun they should be around.. I hope
 
Should be any time now around there. I found a couple in the london area. Should be warming up enough down there
 
they are super small, but there coming, there about an inch in dia and the same tall.
they will grow to be maybe 2 inchs in dia and maybe the head could reach 4 inches in length.
my understanding is just cut flush with the ground without any soil disruption.

They grow all over, usually a moist area....for example i found a couple in my backyard last night well i was cutting the grass. Noticed them just before i was about to mow them over. That area was lush, the grass was over my ankle. That area also has all day sunlight.
 
Look on south facing slopes now.. north facing slopes+deeper in the woods later in the season. Around pines, oaks, ash, Apple orchards, old dead fall.. fire pits.. (all places ive had luck) the long point beach is decent for them... But there very gritty from the sans blowing around an almost impossible to get the dirt out
 
Thanks...Everybody for the info.....Now I can look for them too.......Larry... :giggle:
 
Be careful . There are Morels called Brain Morels that are poisonous. The pictures above from smokey1 do not look like the ones I have collected for 50 years . The pictures from Fishaholic do look like the ones I have collected and eaten for 50 years . At the end of the day best to know for sure . Suggest if unsure check with a very reliable source before eating .
 
How come nothing seems to be cut and dried and simple anymore these days.....:confused:.......LoL

Very true, false morels have more of a red tinge and solid stem, we mostly have yellow morels ( the ones I posted pictures of) and black morels ,both have a hollow stem. As to where to find them I've found them in pine trees, around elms and my favourite, old apple trees. There is a saying regarding finding morels " morels are where you find them" . Also people don't give up there spots very easily, almost as secretive as trout fishing spots. It's a great past time and gets you outside. Good luck on your hunt to find them.
