So I have been thinking that I should find some body around here and learn shrooms. After cleaning up the campfire area in the back i looked down and, what the heck?? Is that a morel mushroom??? And I saw 2 more. So I grabbed them and took a pic. About 2 inches tall. 23 years here and this is a first. Lottsa puffballs last year.

.......maybe not. It is my only proven spot. When I fail miserably finding real ones in real woods at least I can come back home and find some growing around the fire pit

Nice! Sure look like morels to me. Enjoy! I'm going to check my spots again today. Seem to be reading/seeing more reports of them. Next week should be really good.

Your in trouble now. I would be willing to bet you got infected with the disease.

I was in a woods yesterday. Typically we only find them by a few certain tress and yesterday they were just everywhere. I couldnt believe it since its been so cold and there really isnt any sunlight hitting where they were growing.

Buck, what area of the state are you in?

[eyeguy 54]

I'm chicken so probably won't eat them.

If you are not 1000% sure or confident - then that's a good call. But if they are growing in your backyard - see if you can find someone to help you confirm Identification. I'm sure there are a few people who would be happy to help for the price of say...some mushrooms!

I'm in the SE Metro. Just checked my spots and nothing :-(. If I don't see anything by next weekend - I'm gonna need new spots!

Hmmm... I'm thinking a quick rinse in cold water, pat dry, slice, sauté in butter and put em on top of an omelette with onions and cheese.

Nice score and in the back yard to boot. Must have had some elm in the burn pile last fall.

Those are as safe as they come. I'd say with certainty that they're morels, but just to be sure, slice them in half and look inside. If they're *completely* hollow, you're in luck.

100% morels

Couple years ago I found nuthin in the woods but found 4 in the tall grass in my yard.

Unfortunately the lawn mower found them first. Haven't seen them there since.

[eyeguy 54]

visit yer pa and you can have them stick.

[Stick in Mud]

OOOh, I'll be there tomorrow!

[eyeguy 54]

just pop over. still in fridge

[leech~~]

Yes those are small gray morels. Found few today. If their hollow you can swallow is the saying!

[JP Z]

Leech...........were you up my way when you found those?

Leech...........were you up my way when you found those?

Nope, I don't think things will be happening up that way for another 1-2 weeks? But, I hope to find some Walleye up that way this weekend!

[JP Z]

Yeah, ramps are still tiny even around here. Yet Up further north they are almost done......strange.

I've seen text pics of some really nice morels not far from you, JP. They're up, but prime time is 10 days or so out IMO.

[JP Z]

I've got a couple spots that I've been told about so I'll check them. I just need to find some to know where to look.

I'll let you know about Friday.
