icehole10 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm going to do a little checking around the Bagley area this weekend, I'm guessing its a little early yet, and this little cold snap probably isn't helping anything. I'll report back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sawyer Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The snow in the forecast should keep them blooming for a while. Love the extended season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herky2002 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My son and I did pretty well in the north of the metro yesterday. Here's some photos of our haul: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herky2002 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I forgot to mention, we didn't see a single tick yesterday. No deer or wood ticks anywhere. I couldn't believe it, but we loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBlood Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nice finds and pics Herky. I found some this weekend just South of the metro, but they were tiny (about pinky sized). Not sure if my spot is behind or if others are just reporting on "early spots". Either way - great to see people's reports! I would expect this week to be pretty decent.

leech~~ Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 May be my PB Morel ever. The one in the front is more of the normal size I am finding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 One hour of checking after work today. Found a couple all dried out already. Also just about soiled myself when I walked right up to a turkey nesting while I was eyes down for shrooms. Loud, large, in my face flush.

Deitz Dittrich Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 yup- that would scare the [PoorWordUsage] out of me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icehole10 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Found a few Northwest of Bemidji on Saturday. Took awhile to find them and they all were in one location. Couldn't find them anywhere else and it wasn't from lack of trying. It will hopefully only get better. We found plenty of ticks as well!!

Lunker Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Another hour after work yesterday. Only found a half dozen or so. Haven't found a consistent area this year yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 We need some warmer weather and ground temps. My spots have shut down but I know there a few spot on spots that produce each year that have not popped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWiser Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Made it out for about an hour after work last night and stumbled onto a really nice patch. They were all clean and in terrific shape. There are a few more spots that I just know will produce yet this year! The next week is going to be good, I think. Unfortunately, this weekend is mostly taken up by a wedding I'm in on Saturday and a birthday party on Sunday. Then I leave for Canada on Thursday to go fishing. Too much going on in May!!

roony Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm pretty sure those are half morels. Nice Find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnesotathorn Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 spent 5 hours looking on the minn iowa border Thursday. very few & far between until I spotted a nice looking tree that got me 81 yellow & grey in perfect condition. very strange year for me.

DARK30 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Found a few but very spotty and many are past prime too. I don't think they're gonna grow much today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWiser Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It has been a good year so far. I was down in SE MN and found some nice fresh grays on the north and east slopes. As I made my way around to the south slopes, I found older yellows that were past prime. I also found a huge patch of nice, fresh oysters. And, at the same time, my dad was picking like crazy in the metro finding perfect yellows and grays.This cold, damp weather will be good for the season. My last hunt will likely be tomorrow before I leave for Canada Thursday morning. I'm picking for the neighbors now as I have more than I can eat.Good luck out there, it's prime time now!

leech~~ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 This cold, damp weather will be good for the season. I think because of this back and forth cold weather this has been one of the worst years I have ever had. Fungus needs some warm damp ground to get going. We have the damp but 42 degrees this morning is not helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
