Morrels

[Splaker]

Where have you guys found them in the past ? Hardwoods? Thickets? Wet ? Dry? Thanks for any help.

mixed woods, but especially ones with some pine... poplar nearby seems to do the trick.. other say ash or elm...

Seabast there is one mushroom that can (sorta) be confused with morels and will make you very sick. If you find a morel then cut it in half and look for a hollow stem. Sponge on a hollow stick, not a brain on a solid stick..

Thanks, I look into that.....

Old apple orchards are great for morels, and I'm willing to bet there are lot's of steel-headers that walk right past 'em. FYI stay away from golf courses (poison).

morels love sandy soil and woods that are not dense..........they like a little breathing room

Collected up a bag full yesterday secret shroom spot! took a couple hours to find a large quantity in a small area but I hit the jackpot!

Found about a dozen on Sunday. They were all very small, which tells me we were a bit early. However I read that michigan is having an awesome year for morels due to the wet weather, so I'm hoping for the same here

I used to go out with my grandfather collecting them when I was young. Its been years since then and I don't remember where we would find them. What kind of forest area would they be? I would know them if I saw them um just not sure where to look.

good question ,any help guys on areas I should look in ?

I've found them in old apple orchards as well. These are from Monday.

Found my first batch. Found them about 5 feet from the edge of a field and they were all around a up rooted tree.
