I’ve gone looking for Morel’s in the past and have found exactly 0 mushrooms. Today I seen a couple Manitoba guys finding some Morels. They were huge and small. Black and Common Morels. So I decided to take an hour off the couch and see what I could find behind the house. Here’s what I found. I’m not sure what type of Morel they are. Are these the Half Free Morel? I didn’t pick them, just left them hoping they will be night snack one day soon!
Cold as ice!

Look like the ones I find here-black morels I believe. They look like they are just popping up.

I’m going to check on them in a few days and see how big they are. Found about 20 of them.

They might be dried up and gone in a few days. Really, that fast? It’s pretty damp out there right now.

Ok good to know. These ones should be pretty safe since they are about 30 seconds from my front door and on my property. But they might not be safe from animals or drying out. I’ll keep an eye on them daily and see if they grow and pick them. Obviously they grow bigger than this, they are roughly 1 1/2”. Not the end of the world if they disappear or shrivel up. Kinda fun to see how they progress each day.

They are all over the place here alongside all the old grown in logging roads,guess they do well where there is rotting corduroy. Very few if any people picks them here.They only last a couple or three weeks. If I'm bearhunting I pick a couple bags,but dont go out of my way to get them

The finest spots I have seen are places along the river that had burned the previous year. Don't know what it is.....

I’m not sure. I’ll take a look at them tomorrow and see. Think I’ll cut one in half and see what I’m dealing with. Looked at some pics online and think I have a good idea on what a false morel is now. There just getting going here in the woods,took a 15 minute walk through my woods and saw 20 some we will pick some Friday.My brother has been finding many on 2.3 year old clear cuts where the sun has warm up the soil quicker,he's well over a thousand so far,he's been out 3 times. Nice! That’s a lot of mushrooms! We have lots of clear cuts and burns, so I’m sure I’ll hit the mother load if I give it an honest effort.

Mine here are starting up. Always the black morels. As Keith mentioned, I too have watched them and why some get huge and others don't, I'll never figure why. So I just basically pick them as I find them, unless they are so small that Ill leave them. Nothing else likes them, deer, elk, my wild turkeys, bear, they all leave them alone. No one picks out in these woods so I have the forest to myself, as well as my own place. These I found just on part of my place this afternoon. I'll go back out later and get more. I like to dry them , store them in glass containers, and use them all through the year.

I think morels are the easiest mushroom to positively identify. Just dont eat any toadstools,you might start to hallucinate.
