Morel's Yet?

[peder]

Hope it rains this afternoon, I was out yesterday and was kicking up dust walking in the woods.

[Jameson]

Checked spots north side of metro yesterday. Very dry. No morels.

Checked spots in west metro today. No morels.

And it rained this evening!

[harvey lee]

Until we recieve some moisture, the picking is going to be poor.

[delmuts]

we are just getting started here in N.C. iowa. i was out this morning . 4hrs. got me a hand full of grays!

[peder]

Went out in Carver County yesterday evening and found 59 greys they were about 1"-2".

[Wayne Sieber]

Nice job peder!

I am off tomorrow for a combo Turkey Hunt/Morel Hunt! I am so excited since the weather seems to have turned for the better with the rain and warmer temps forecast and also the Lilacs are a bloomin'!!!! WoooHooo!!

[jeff127]

went out tonight in the chaska area and searched an area loaded with dead elms and found zippo--looked a little dry yet. My bro checked an area in belle plain and found a dozen and some were already drying out. He ate them tonight and it seems he is now alergic to them--his last 2 times eating morels(fresh and dehydrated) he has puked his guts out an hour after eating them. We ate hundreds of them last year and no problems. These were NOT false morels. It is kind of wierd all of a sudden he is alergic. I feel bad for him since he loved to eat them---only good thing all the good spots we found are now all mine.

Hey Jeff,

Was your brother drinking with the morels? I have heard that alcohol combined with morels can cause that problem for some people. It has given me an upset stomach...but never made me puke.

[Scott K]

I had the same thing happen to me, it took one trip to the hospital, to have some awsome tasting charcoal. And two seperate pukings for me to convince my self I couldnt eat them anymore. Although I really love the taste of them. I may try it again, I may have grown out of it. or not

[harvey lee]

Booze and morels are almost always a no no.

[Gus]

Booze and morels a no no.. Maybe I don't consume enough morels at one time but I know I consume enough of the other. No problems to date!

[beer batter]

They had me worried there for a bit Gus. I started thinking these morels aren't all people make them out to be.

[Scott K]

Im sure I was drinking beer all 3 times I had the problem. I love the taste of them, maybe Im up for another try, this time without drinking. I will be out looking for them early next week, hopefully I can eat them without any problems.

I drove to Iowa yesterday to drop off the dog for his training and took a "little stroll" into the woods.

BINGO. Found plenty of yellows. Left the girlfriend sitting in the car and she was plenty mad when I returned. I'm still

weighing the pros and cons of my decision of taking the walk! Good luck to all.

[skunk-ape]

Found about a dozen tiny grays today, west metro. Hopefully the rain that is forecasted comes. If it does, it should be good next week. Happy hunting!!

How far north do these Morels go. I live near I Falls and I hear all this talk about Morels. I would love to try. Earlier I posted I wanted to buy some and the only response I got was go to a farmers market if someone can find me a farmers market within a 1 hour drive of I falls that would be great. Other than that I still would love to buy and try some of these. Anyone willing to sell and ship some up. Let me know. Thanks guys.

[morelnmusky]

dockboy You'll probably have to come south a bit to get into some; Bemidji area i know gets a reasonable amount of them. It takes alot of walking though. If you really want to buy some go on hsolist search title and description morel mushrooms there is many many for sale; I would say your 25$ for 1# fresh shipped is fair. You can also buy dried morels on hsolist year long then around 7$ per oz shipped would be fair priced. Otherwise you can buy them at major grocery stores ( I KNOW YOU ARE IN IFALLS NO BIG STORES FOR MILES)but they are at least 9$ per 1/2oz and they are real little. Sorry for rambling I hope this helps.

[jeff127]

Went out for an hour this morning to an early hotspot and found just over 300 greys (1-4 inches) and about 25 yellows all around one large dead elm---game on.

I was near belle plain.

I was down in Iowa last Wednesday and picked about 15 lbs of them. Sold 5 lbs for 11.00/lbs and ate and shared the rest. I only found 2 little grays yesterday around Clairmont, MN and about 25 down by Winona, MN. All these were the tiny little grays.

I also found this nice 150's class Whitetail that was lost by a bowhunter with the arrow still stuck through the carcass.

[Dock Boy]

Hey JK if you have any more shrooms I would love to buy some from you. I'm also thing about ordering some on hsolist. What are some of your reccomendations for cooking these bad boys. Let me know guys I'm looking forward to trying them. Thanks in advace.

[jkcmj]

I won't have any for sale until we start popping some numbers down here. Looks like we might get the rain tonight or tommorow, but only 50% chances. I will be in the Owatonna area again tommorow and may be able to get a load then if I'm lucky.

[Dock Boy]

Sounds good JK just let me know. Thanks

[NELS-BELLS]

In the St. Cloud area we received about a 1/4" of rain on Friday and another 1/4" of rain on Sat. How long does it take for the morels to start popping after a rain?

While fishing i took a little bit of time off to search the area for Morels and didnt find a mushroom. It was a new area for me so i dont know if they have came up yet or not. Anybody getting any around the carver area?

[harvey lee]

I checked the best area I have for hunting morels and came up empty handed again. Boy, I am getting hungry.
