I've been finding a lot in the last few days. Found one almost 12 inches tall today. It was as big around as a soda can ! Found them on a hillside so steep you had to hold on to trees to climb up to get them. Won't last for long .

I've never had a morel mushroom. I hear about them and have seen them on t.v., but have never tasted them. What type of terrain do you find them in?

I usually find them around dying elms. I look for rusty colored dead limbs on standing elms. I have a few places where I find them in open pastures where there isn't a tree within 100 yds. My opinion is that morels are as unpredictable as turkeys are. In the hill country they are often found on slopes where the soil stays moist but drains well. Remeber to take an onion sack with you to put them in, that allows the spores to come loose and make it to the ground as you walk around and never pull them out by the roots ,cut them off at ground level. These steps help ensure that there will be more to pick next year. Good luck and happy shroomin'  !

Saw one black one yesterday.  It looked dried out so I left it.  It's supposed to be warm tonight and tomorrow.  They may pop tonight.
