Morell Mushrooms

Rock county this morning

Where do you guys think we're at in SE wi???  Towards the end???

Roughly 5 lbs last night, SW WI.

Found about a pound in my yard under a recently dead elm, very sunny part of the yard.  Many more small ones that I left.  Guess I won't cut that part of the yard for a while.  Mostly blacks, with a couple yellows mixed in.  Haven't seen that before.

I'll be hitting the woods this weekend.

5lbs Sunday, maybe 2 more this evening. Left quite a few small ones Sunday that were probably double in size and still in good condition. I left them again. Back in two days to grab them and hopefully several more with the warmer temps and rain that is coming. Hopefully the neighbor doesn’t wander in there, but it’s happened before. 

Went back and got some more in Milwaukee cnty!!!   Couple blacks as well!

Found a good batch SE wis along with all the pheasant backs ya want and some leeks...

The wife found a few with her father on Friday but I think this will be the week here for us with the warm up walworth county. 

My dad is in southern Mi now. Has been for a couple of weeks. Sent me pics of dime size light grays. Got some 3-4” black color variations Saturday. No reason why they were there. 

Darn good for you & The Missus OB!!!  

These legs have extensive timber cruising miles put on also. Absolutely zero to show for it. Ugghh. 

What’s your geographical area?  High or low ground  

Gardener’s freeze advisory here last night. Not really conducive for Morchellas.

Got 7lb 3 days walking with the wife.  We had 267 total.   Legs are shot!  Friends also had another pile. best start to the year in awhile 

You’ll find good mushroom info @ MSU’s (MI State U) website. Tons of info. It’s my Go-to for all things ‘Shroom.

I too used to find the early blacks/browns in Waukesha Cnty the first of May. 2010 I found them in Western Fondy Cnty on May 1st. 

I’ve been checking aspen stands & prime elms, as well as ash stands and wildish apple trees in Calumet Cnty, where I now live. Ground moisture is very good but temps are just not right yet. Forecasts for daytime 60’s might get them pushing up on sun exposed spots. Let’s hope so.  

I found a pound of morels in Western Dane County yesterday

Cold weather is keeping them down this year in Southern WI. In past years, I've found them starting in late April through the first week or 2 in May.  I found a half dozen in Waukesha county to day. We need some warm weather and they will take off but so will the understory so they will be hard to find and probably won't have a very long run. We're about 2 weeks behind where we normally are.
