nice should be good soon.

So when are you taking me trout fishing and mushroom hunting, SE MN FishSlayer? Heheh

nice job

I got 15 to 20 grays last night. It can only get better from here with this warm weather coming up.

hey mushroom hunters. I will be in the woods this weekend and would like to find some morels. Just wondering where to start my search. And what to look for. Thanks for the help.

Dead elms with moss covered black dirt around them. Make sure the spots have been getting some sun also. I had better luck with the open spots than the ones further back in the woods. But those will come hopefully by the weekends.

I will be in Lake city turkey hunting. Is that a good spot for mushrooms? Do they strive in dry or moist places. And if i am fortunate enough to find a couple what do i do with them immediately after picking? Thanks for the help guys.

Turkeys and morels go great together . I've been finding them in areas that get more sun recently, but the shadier moist areas are bound to hold a few pretty soon. Take a mesh bag, pinch or cut them off just above ground. Make sure they don't get wet, you can dry them or just eat them the day of picking

You can also freeze them. They will last quite a while.

anyone finding any. looked yesterday here in hillman none yet

Give it another week mine are just starting here in the metro.

put it this way i been hunting and finding in metro for three weeks? i have sooooooooooo manyyyyyyyyyyy boom booms 30.00$ a pound it might make me want to go back in the woods. any takers?

I have found around 600 (90% greys)in 5 hours of looking in the last 2 days and have only found one area within the woods that had a good amount. Most were found on slopes---some too steep to walk---that faced south and had partial to full exposure. Sad thing is of the hundreds of elms I searched around I only found morels by 10 of them. One thing I have noticed is ALOT of small ones this year. The full exposure areas had the larger ones---greys and yellows. I left hundreds to see if they grow---it isn't worth picking if it is the size of a pencil eraser. If we get some heat and some more rain the big yellows should be popping soon.

20 to 30 more greys last night for me. I have not found any yellows yet.

What is the difference i greys and yellows?

once you pick them can you just eat them or should you wash them? Or is it better to cook them up?
