jerdanmagic Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Anyone have any luck finding morel mushrooms yet this year? Lets see some pics if you've found some!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Went out the other day before we went on spring break with no luck. I'm betting there will be some when I get back if my morel stealing buddy doesn't get them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntrout Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I have hunted for morels for several years, can you over pick them from one spot? Do you leave any for seed? I was just curious we had someone find one of our honey holes 2 years ago we found no sign of them last or this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Found 1 today. :toot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 A co-worker mentioned that a friend of his found a few the other day about 30 miles south of us......kinda makes sense with the weather patterns from 40 miles north of Columbus to 30 south of Columbus.

For sure. I'm pretty new to this "sport," but it just makes me wonder what last night's rain and these 80 degree temps will do to them. I've heard and read that when temps get this hot this quick it's not good for the mushrooms. It will be tough to beat last year I think. We picked nearly 50 every night for about a month straight. One of our art teachers came up on a Sunday and picked over 100. :eat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 checked a couple of my hot spots last night with no luck. I usually don't bother looking until mid-late april but it looks like it's gonna be an early spring... they'll probably be popping up next week around here if the warm weather keeps up.

jerdanmagic Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I found 3 small ones on Saturday and 8 Giant False morels yesterday. This was the first time I've ever found false morels. Here's one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hit it BIG tonight My cousin and I found the honey hole of all honey holes today!!! In less than 2 hours we pick over 450 morels!!! Not too bad considering my previous one day total was less than 40. Fried some tonight and oh man were they good.

Hoyt03 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 What do you guys look for when searching for them? Need some ideas on where to start looking? we used to have a good spot by this quarry, but when they expanded their operation it made the schrooms dissappear. Where's the best spot to find them?

I find them primarily around elm and ash trees... I also find them in old apple orchards as well. I found a mess last year around a big ole dead cottonwood but unfortunately I was a few days late.

slughunter Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Story around the camp fire is that some were found in viroqua wi, but I think its still 2-3 weeks too early. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ildrhntr Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Wow........I think we need a week or so here but that makes me think I better go check my hot spots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 A friend and I went out today on our lunch break to the place we found them yesterday, and we picked another 5 lbs! I have never, ever had this much luck. I ended up selling several pounds today on craigslist and I gave all the rest to friends and family. I felt like Santa Clause today, driving around and dropping off presents to all the people that I know who love morels. Happy hunting!!! Here's another pic of our haul from last night.
