I just made a tiny late night snack of the morel I found. I microwaved it on 8 for 111. It was scrumptious. I've never microwaved a model before. I have always fried them. It was so good I licked the bowl. I hope to have better luck and better weather tomorrow.

If you find morels in one spot and pick them, will they be there the next year?

OP, as far as your last picture of the woodland flowers.
I asked a Ecologist that specializes in plants I know, the guy is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. He has walked thru my property and knows every plant in the place including grasses and sedges.

This is his reply, " I'm pretty sure it's Oxalis stricta (yellow wood sorrel) with atypical leaf coloration. I've seen it leaves completely red/purple before."

Thanks everyone.

Here's some more pictures from today.






I believe these are old turkey tail mushrooms.






Is this golden seal?


I believe this is wild geranium.


This looks somewhat like showy orchis, without the flower. Does anyone recognize it?


I found this oak gall today too, laying on the forest floor. It really does look like some sort of odd fruit. It's super light.


I found a bunch is small morels, most to far gone and some white ramps too. I've never found any of the red ramps on my end of the state.
