Yep!!

After many years of hunting them and finding many and thinking i had them figured out Ive come to the conclusion that they will grow anywhere they decide they want to.

I am usually very successful in old strip mines.

I'm not much of a mushroom eater, but I make an exception when it comes to morels.

What county are you in and I will find out when they found them in your county last year

Potter county

Looks like they were finding a good amount in oneida county n.y around may 12 last year.

wow-thanx-something to do when the turkeys won't cooperate.

Needs to be 50 degrees or more at night for about a week before you find many

Look around Tulip / Poplar trees.

PCR, check out Leatherwood Outdoors on YouTube. Have some good videos on Morels a bit west of you

I don't have much luck finding them around here. I don't think they're fond of the sandy soil in this region. Or maybe I'm just blind.

Flat swampy bottom land & pine forest here, have not found any yet, but keep on looking. Occasional frost. Found some hens though.

I'm afraid of mushrooms. Even Ray Mears says he won't teach it and he's taken formal fungi courses. I don't think this can be the answer though. I need to figure this out.

Am lucky to have them on our property. Neat watching them grow fast.
Also hunt other properties .Wife and I keep family supplied.





some Morels like to hide...


I use a snake hook to move grass & weeds to look for those hiding...


many stand tall...

Really nice pics hern.

I wish I could find some morels. I think I need to go spend some time walking around.

great pics Hern.gonna give it a go up here this year and see what happens.

run - go west just a little up the mountain - mature poplar forest and creek bottoms.

I dont know that area real well, but you should be able to find some

I would have to imagine all of Pennsylvania has Morels. I have found them in just about every type of habitat there is. Found a couple last year growing in pure sugar sand 1 foot off the 2 track in Northern Michigan last year. I usually look in thick shaded poplar stands early in the season for the black variety. Grey/whites are found under elms, sycamores, cottonwood, white pine, oaks, grass, may apple, and just about anything else. Look everywhere until you find a couple and then look in similar places for more. Last year my best spot was a stand of cottonwoods that had been flooded in early spring and then receded. They were everywhere and even growing 10 feet out into a planted corn field.

First ones for them year. Hope to find many more in the next few weeks.
