When do morels in Alaska usually start to show up? Our normal mushroom picking doesn’t usually start till August. Do they usually come up the spring after a fresh burn or does it take a few years?

The year after a burn is the best, two years after you can still find some but not as productive as the first year after the burn. Out here we usually get them in May/ June.

In our its normally after the first really good foggy morning followed by warm sunshine. We find most of our by lupin and williows. Its one of our favorite activities to do in the Spring right after we get to fish camp.

Ok thanks. I’ve seen a few before and I remembered it seemed a lot earlier in the summer than our other picking.

Ditto what Victor said. End of may beginning of June. 1-2 days after a rain is most productive. I have found a few places that they come up every year. One of those places is at our cabin in the debris where firewood is cut/split. But first year burns are best!

Agree with Victor and Nooksack, but don’t stop looking. I found these on the 2nd of July.

I haven't had much luck until about 2nd week of June. Then you get about a month.

Thanks for the info, I would guess youre correct with your thoughts on mine because we are not at a burn site and the time frame works prefect.

Do anyone of you guys know of a market for them in the Fairbanks area?
