Any one find anything ? And what area of the state ??

[harvey lee]

There are small grays in Sibley county.Just starting.

[jlm]

Reports I have got from central MN is that they are really starting to pop. They are small but they are there. I would say next weekend will be prime time! Good luck all!

[CASTnBLAST]

Finding few around Wadena area.Possibly this weekend hopefuly.

[buckpredator]

A few popping here in Jordan, tommorrow if it gets as warm as they say we might get a few more to pop. Supposed to cool down by the weekend again though

[doser]

I checked the spot last night where I found some last year and some small greys are poppin'. Nothing big enough to pick though. Had to get on my hands and knees to see them.

[JP Z]

Haven't seen any yet.........now I see SNOW!!!!! in the forecast maybe for Friday.....what the HECK!! That won't really help the cause.

[cybermuskie]

I found 2 small ones today! So maybe they will start to pop.

[harvey lee]

I had a good day picking grays today but I didnt find any yellows.Second time this last week I have found them.I would guess that after today and maybe a day or two more of heat,these little morsels should really be popping.No yellows yet.

All the grays that I picked today were on a southern slope pretty much in the open.I didnt find any deep in the woods where the tree tops keep the sun from the ground.I believe we need just a little more ground temp and then look out.

I found a few in Grand Rapids yesterday and a friend in Bemidji had found a few as well. Some warm temps should kick things into high gear!!!!!!!!

I have been looking around the SW metro for over a week now and have yet to spot any kind of mushroom, let alone a morel. I figured it was just a matter of time before I stumbled upon some, but now I realize that I really don't have a clue. Does anyone know if there are stores where you can buy morels? I would like to try some, because if they aren't any good then I am just wasting my time.

[cybermuskie]

I was out looking today and didn't find any,somaybe I was lucky find 2 yesterday. Dang cold and windy here today. Need somw warmth!

[harvey lee]

Your right,we still need some heat units until the picking will be good.You can find the small greys now with alot of searching.I have one good very early spot and they are just starting.

[doser]

Picked 16 greys last night. Could have had 20 , but some critter ate the tops off before I got to them. Tasted great fried in butter,olive oil and a little salt with a beer on the side!

[Northland Sportsman]

Does anyone have a pic of the greys that they could post. I am hoping to get out this weekend, but am very new to mushroom hunting. Any help is appreciated. YOu can also e-mail if you don't want to post here. Thanks! [email protected]

If you google Morel you will find all the info you will need including pictures.You can also check the Minnesota River forum,Morel time post by DARK30-pictures of greys.

I went out for a few hours today and was rewarded again with 78 greys.Very good day for this early.Sauteed schrooms again tonight,boy it just doesnt get old.

[harvey lee]

I went out for just a little bit again today and to my suprise found a very nice batch of yellows.Good thing there is no limit on these beauties.

[jlm]

My morel contacts tell me that it is prime time right now! They have been picking the last few days with very good success and the shrooms are about the perfect size (size does matter guys!)! Looks like this weekend will be the time to be out. Careful for the deer tick all, they are thick in some areas! Good luck!

Pictures of some greys I picked Wed. night.

I agree you with 100%.To me the little ones are more tender and taste better.But,I have buddies that dont care,they say they are all the same.

I will keep looking for the younger,more tender ones.

[Northland Sportsman]

thanks for the pics and tips on looking at the other post guys! I will be out in search of my first morel this weekend.

[jparrucci]

I was thinking about going out looking for morels for the first time ever tommorow (sat). I live in the west metro and was thining about looking along the MN River bottoms in the Chaska area. Has anyone ever had any luck in that area? I was going to try right along the Highway 41 bridge, as there is a large wooded area on the east and west sides of the highway that I guess would be as good of a spot as any. If anyone else has a general area on the west side of the cities, shoot me an email [email protected]. Thanks!

[harvey lee]

A wooded area along the river would be a good place to start looking.Look for dead elms with the bark falling off.You may also find some in other areas.Good luck.

Nice pictures Doser.

I found 2 yellows and a small grey in 3hrs of looking (chaska/chanhassen area). All of them were in fairly open areas. All my hotspots deeper in the woods were void-----I think a tad early yet.

In the last three night I found about 6 dozen morels in the west metro area. Mostly greys with a few yellows mixed in.
