I am not sure if i have the patience for morel hunting or there are just none out there. If anyone has suggestions for finding Morels in upstate new york, please help me. I pretty much gave up but a friend said he found quite a bit last may and of course he wont tell me where

I like to walk on paths that ATV have ripped up. I always find them growing there. Another spot i like is where a music fest is every year. I check around all of the fire pits and find em. Ask around and see if you can go hunting with someone to learn where you need to hunt.

Im looking for gourmet cultures/spores. If you have any feel free to send me a PM. Agaricus augustus, Auricularia polytricha, Morchella esculenta and Sparassis crispa are on my need list right now.

Well I find that they grow in a wide range of woodlands in my area. I find mine in deciduous woods, with mixed trees, like elm, beech, etc. They can be very hard to spot at first, so a slow thorough approach, carefully examining the ground is ideal. If you find one, there is likely many more to be found growing nearby.

When do you go, From what I have read it is in may just when the apple trees are blooming. I am sure the window of opportunity is short. I do not know of any other fine edibles in spring besides morels but I am sure there are... in N.Y.. any help? Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

I go looking for them in the spring. The prime pickings in my area are in may. I am somewhat south of New York though. Those photos were taken on may 8th 2005.
