Well with all this talk about the Morels, I just had to go check it out.. Never did that before.

This was what I got in about an hour just for me. My buddy got the other half. We hit pay dirt in two spots I guess. It was fun, but getting home and cleaning that many was not so fun.

Found some bigfoot shrooms in the metro tonight.

I hear ya, most of my go to spots dried up too fast with the lack of rain and continuous wind. Another 3/4 of an inch of rain would have made all the difference. Did find enough to keep me happy though---most of the bigger patches I found were near water. Without any rain in the near future I think the season is pretty much done for me......it goes way too fast.

I still managed to find a few nice ones last night here in SE MN. 16 to be exact, in less than 45 minutes of looking, that's all the time I had by the time I got off work, and drove to the spot before it got too dark.

Last weekend I finally found a few, 2 regular size and 6 jumbo, though not as big as the biggest ones above...

I left the one regular for a day and it grew a little, then watered it and the next day it had grown a fair amount more...then decided to pick it before it got sniped...

It is too dry, hoping to find a few more this weekend though...

Mn Hwy 95, Cambridge to Taylors Falls area...

Oh yeah, I forgot the tick count...I have been staying out of the worst tick areas the last couple years, so I only had about a dozen...of course there is always that one that starts crawling around under your clothes when you're driving in traffic... eek

I've been trying to train my dog to sniff out morels. Each time I find one, I have him sniff it, then I give him one of his favorite treats. He hasn't found one yet, but I'm hoping after a year or two he will figure it out.

Anyways, each time I've come home this year I've picked about 20-30 ticks off him.

Was out in search of the infamous Moerel for the first time ever last weekend around Knife lake, I think it's way to dry, I never even found a shroom of any kind. I did find a old farm dump with a pair of old Desalle engine hoods and fushed a easy 500 woodys and malards on avery small pothole next to the dump. Also, Knife did produce a nice bunch of crappies off the docks and a few eyes with very little effort. HTB

Well too dry even with the few sprinkles...

Did find some Oyster and Sulphur shelves though...

Ate some of the Oyster, first time ever...a little more fibrous than other shrooms, so have to cook slow a little longer...but very good...

Will try the Sulphur today...

Look me up around Oct, if you need another gun to go with. I am a DNR gun safey instructor so you shouldn't have to worry to much about getting shot!! grin
