Morel Mushrooms
 

Probably still early, but anyone found some?

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

My brother around springfield Mo found 59 over the weekend!

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

A great site is morels.com They have a site for each state.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I don't know if my license covers stalking wild morels.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

gettin close in N. Illinois, I think it will bee a few weeks yet. Cant wait.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

The ground is plenty wet enough around here, we just need the temps to go up so them little buggers will pop up out of the ground.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I am hoping that they are popping up good in about 10 days because that's when i will have a chance to do a three day weekend to go look for them in southeastern Illinois. I'm already fantasizing about deep fried morels and blue gill filets fresh from my dad's pond.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Found 20 yesterday. Sat down on a little hill to call at some turkey and they were all around me. Filled up my pockets and plan on returning in a couple days after 1st turkey season.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Damn, that is much earlier than i thought folks would be finding them in that part of Illinois. At that rate, 10 days from now may be too late.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

my buddy went shed hunting 2 days ago and found a small grey in central illinois

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Found 17 two days ago had a little rain yesterday going out tomorrow morning to look around again.

Andrew,

What part of Ohio are you in.

A friend of mine who is a pretty good morel hunter went out yesterday in Richland county, Illinois and only found one.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

We have a lot of standing water and pretty wet here in Wisconsin. Kinda cold at night still. Supposed to get some good storms for the next few days then warm up next week. I hope the skeeters aren't as bad as they were last year, I couldn't hang for a a while there!

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Lanse couche couche i live in southern ohio in jackson county.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

If it gets warm i should find some next week. it would had been last weekend but it has been to dam cold:(

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

none in wi yet, of course its finally starting to warm up, should be coming soon though :)

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I have found them before, but where do you guys like looking for them?

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I usually find them around old dead elm trees, especially on the hills overlooking creek bottoms.

I just heard that they have started finding them up around Robinson, Illinois, which is 30 miles north of where he lives. So, it should be prime time in richland county by the time i get over there this weekend.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Lanse,

I just spoke with my uncle tonight and he found 36 black one today in Hardinville. You should be neck deep in them when you get there.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I dont eat mushrooms, but I know a place in Southeastern Ohio that every year produces more than a guy could pick in an afternoon. I wonder what the market for them are?

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Oh such yummy goodness with every Morel. I can't catch a Walleye or find a shed, but I can find those yummy little shroomies alright. can't wait, will check the tell tail spot next week.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Found over 600 in southern ohio

RE: Morel Mushrooms

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Around here it's about $15 a lb.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

our 4th batch....almost hit the 1000 mark

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Wasn't a good weekend for me. I went out Satruday and found two. My father, son and I went out on MOnday and found 42. We combined those morels with some blue gill fillets and had a feast. Now, i'm gonna check out a few spots on the Great Miami river here in Ohio this weekend.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Only found two...but did find like a million Emerald Ash Borers...uggh...

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Headed out to KS and NE tomorrow for 5 days of spring gobbler hunting. If we found good numbers of morels in a certain area last year....... what are the chances of finding them in the same spot this spring?

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

They are in their prime now in SW IL. I've found nearly 1000 this past week. This coming week will be the end of it. It's been an incredible season.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Found this small mess in 40 minutes in Southern Indiana.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

has anybody from wisconsin been finding any yet? might have to get check a few hot spots but this damn weather needs to start shapeing up it was snowing today but thankfully nothing stuck and last friday we recieved way to much rain roughly 6-8" water is everywhere plenty of closed or damaged roads

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I FOUND 30 TODAY WHEN I WAS HUNTING. NO TURKEY BUT I GOT THE MUSHROOMS.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Found another 106 today. Between three of us we totaled 316. Puts my total for the year just shy of 1200

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I'm a novice with Morels. My wife and I decided to go looking yesterday for the 1st time, and found 19 in about an hour. 1 was different from the rest...it had the same shape was the color was a yellowish white. I'm kind of hesitant to eat it. Any recommendations?

Here's a picture of them.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

If you're talking about the 2nd one in the bottom row, it's fine to eat. We call them blondes around here. They eat the same as the rest. The ones to stay away from are a reddish brown.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

I"ve looked in two or three good spots from years past, have"nt found one damn mushroom yet, but when it happens look out. Looks like she had white and black, I can"t wait to get some here soon.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

Another 598 for two of us tonight. Could have been more but we ran out of daylight.

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

YUP!!

RE: Morel Mushrooms
 

as long as the cap is connected at the bottom then it ok to eat.
