A TON of info on all kids of shrooms. Difference betweens false and true morels. What kinds of trees they like, AND MORE>>.

Not North to Vermont yet.

I just spent an hour and a half crawling around in the brush on the Great Miami river bluffs. I found 7 of the little light brown morels, and they are almost dried up. Well, at least i didn't get skunked. I really miss hunting the Mississippi River bluff outside of the Quad-Cities in northern Illinois. I used to find so many that I ended up giving half of them away.

CI i have found almost all of mine around ash elm and poplar trees. But last year i was weedeating in my grandpas yard under some whit pines and hit something weird sounding and i looked down and there were 8 grey morels that stood about 8 or 9 inches in height and about 6 inches around.

I went out the other day and found a little over a pound and went out tonight for a few hours and found about 5 pounds. They were all really fresh.

Can't wait to fry me up a mess of them.

RE: Mushrooms?
 

Great find Illinois Buck Hunter. Do you have any pics of them? I wish i could find five pounds at one time I think the most ive ever found at one time was like 1.5 lbs.

Thanks D-Bass and A14 for all your info. We have lots of ash and popler here on the island so I will start to look when the time is right. I can't wait for my first find and neither can my taste buds.:D

RE: Mushrooms?
 

Hey CI have you found any yet. Found a grocery sack full today with my brother.

RE: Mushrooms?
 

Getting a lot of rain right now and it is supposed to be pretty warm tonight. So im gonna hit the woods in the morning and try to pick some. To those going out tomorrow Good Luck!

RE: Mushrooms?
 

It rained all night but it stayed cold. I had night crawlers out on the driveway for the first time last night so warmer weather is coming. The earlywild flowers have started to show out in the woods so the shrooms should be soon. The spring comes late here on the island because of the influence of the cold lake water. The plus is that the warm lake in the fall keeps my growing season going long after the rest of the state. I figure I will probably find some in a week or so. Good going on your find!

RE: Mushrooms?
 

Well CI good luck on your first trip hope you get your first find. After all that rain we got i went to my spot that no one knows about and found 64 under 3 trees and guess what they were dying elm trees that have some of the bark falling off. Again Good Luck
