I'm heading to southeastern Illinois this weekend. Anybody in the general area finding morels?

Found a patch of 1" grays in Scott Countyon Friday the 13th. Gonna go back and pick 'em later this week.

Good luck!

i found 10 morels and 2 gray ones today 4/17 in Hillsburronone were bigger than an 2 inches tall though so im going to go back in a couple days and see.

On Tuesday evening, April 17, I picked 44 grays and small yellows up to 3" tall. Scott County.

Some of the grays were already burned up.

May be a lean year for morels.

Good luck!

Lanse, I went out this past weekend (Friday) and expected not to find any with the cold weather. I did end up finding 13 blacks and 2 greys on one batch. I did find one other loner throughout the rest of the woods. Hopefully this warmer weather will get things kicked off. Good luck!

Went last night 4/19with my wife and found 3 yellows about 1 inch tall and VERY dried out. Believe it or not, I think we could use a little more rain here in West Central IL to really help them pop out. IMO, this looks like it could be a good year, but there isn't going to be much time to get out and find them since the undergrowth got an early start.

talked to some guys last night and they found 10 lbs. on Wednesday. I think this weekend will be the time to get out there and start looking!!!

I went out yesterday and found 3lbs of mostly yellows and gray's and just a few blacks.
Dinner was Yummy last night to say the least, Steaks with Morels and Asparagus
