First day looking for Morels

[Jnasa]

Took off a little early today. Wanted to go for a hike with my wife and look for Morels. We lucked into a fair haul for how much time we had and ground covered. Looking forward to getting out some more.

Always wanted to learn how to find these guys! What’s the best way to begin learning?

I found 2-1/2 LBS Thursday and another 1/2 LB Friday.
Had a big feed last evening.

We do best looking around dead elm trees.

Varies depending on where and what kind. We started doing what was recommended in parts of the country where morels are common. None of that was true in GA.

I found some yellows this morning here in central Iowa.

Wife and I had a steady pick at 4,000ft in the Sierra last week, pulled 6lbs. Should be getting prime right now.

Where's the mushroom? .... oh, there it is, hidden by distracting humanoids.

'Pretty small and slow here so far; 'hoping for more.

Today's harvest. There's no meal more tasty to a hunter-gatherer than an elk steak covered with sauteed morels.

Ours were done towards the end of April, but we had a great season on them

Wild pig schnitzel with a morel parmesan/garlic cream sauce is to die for. Need to get out and replenish our supply.

You shot the mushroom?

 

[geetar]

I've only ever found one wild and it was on the land I sold last year. I was running a weedeater and I saw it it just as I swung the weedeater into it before I could stop the motion.

We usually target the burns from the previous year, but last year was pretty fire-free so will have to do a little hunting.

What state are you in?

I lucked into a big patch in a burn area. Had just north of 200 mushrooms.

It's so easy to add location (state) up under "Messages" on your posts. It really helps in understanding context of pics and posts ... 'just saying, "Don't be so shamefully incognito."
