Just kidding, a little too early but it’s coming boys! Every ice cold day is one closer to spring. It’s 14 degrees here now which is warmer than earlier. Wood stove and thoughts of morels got me feeling better.

Hope it will be a better year for me.
Two years ago I found only a half dozen and last year, just two.

Wow that stinks. Was just telling my buddy, a friend a couple years ago found over 400 his very first year. First night out, he’s got a bunch of kids he offers money for every one they help find. 97 on their very first ever attempt. I’ve never even heard of anyone doing that. He’s found lots last few years in same area though. Must be good there.
Hope this year is awesome for ya. All that bad luck is passed by now, this year will be good for you!!

Notwithstanding Bowguy's warning, I love to eat mushrooms and would love to collect some wild morels, hopefully without poisoning myself in the process, and assuming they exist in California. What is the best resource to find out how to collect them and where to look for them?

Seems like a great resource, Pine. Thanks!

Morels are pretty easy to id and safe first mushrooms. Learn your land you tube channel has a good guy with idk 4-5 morel videos on it. He’s a Pa guy so it would t be specific to your area but you’d learn some things.

Thanks for the leads, Michael!

No worries. When you find them remember to cut in half, check for completely hollow. If unsure ask. Good luck

I usually pick 25-30 pounds every spring here in Wisconsin, but spring 2021 was a bust! You can count on morels being up when lilacs blossom, but 2021 was extremely dry and our first rain was late and close to 2”. The morels were up already (what morels there were anyway)and the rain rusted and molded them overnight. Hunted for another week afterwards and found nothing. I hunt mainly the same woods every year for the last 25 years, which still have elms and are very productive. Hardly got enough for a meal last year, so I’ll be out in earnest this year!!!

Almost time!!! Need a few warm nights here in ohio and we will be in business.

Bowguy67 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2022, 02:55:34 AM »

Good luck boys. It’s real close now. On another note fiddleheads are pushing dirt mounds up. Only days away from them
