Boy do I plan on making up for it this spring.

I had 3 different friends bring me plenty of morels last spring while I was laid up to enjoy many meals.

Harvey, you let me know if you need some help with that knee this year. You can point out the spots and I will go get them for ya!

Come on Harv, just having fun with ya! This isn't the Crossbow post!

Hey guys,

I have been hunting mushrooms for a couple years with minimal success. After looking at these photos I think I might give up on them a little early. How late into the spring will you look for them? I have been giving up around fishing opener. By the looks of it I can find them well into June. True???

Not quite sure what you are saying Leech.

I am not upset with anything in this thread.

I thought maybe you weren't replying because you didn't care for my crack about helping pick your shrooms if your knee is still acting up this year!

Go to google and search for "morel mushroom maps" and click the first link that comes up.

Scroll down and it will show a map of the United States, and color code by date when morels are found. They are finding morels right now in some of the southern states!!

It also has links for previous year's maps so you can see when morels started showing up in prior years. 2009 seems screwed up, but check 2008 and prior. They move from South to North across the US in a 'wave'. Around the metro, they almost always seem to show up in May.

Usually around the opener is when they start in the metro,it all depends on the weather.warm and moist conditions are best but when the temp starts climbing and things get dry,the season can end quickly.Id like to see a May up here that is low to mid 70,s with rain every 2 days,I dont think thats to much to ask for .By the way,great pics guys Ive been do my scouting for the upcoming season,cant wait...
