Southeast Morel finds (Update! PICS!)
    #5395851 - 03/13/06 04:50 PM (18 years, 20 days ago)

I was just wondering if anyone in the southeast has been out looking for morels.

Poplar trees are starting to bud so that means morel season should be soon. I've been looking, but so far I haven't seen any. Once I do I'll be sure to post pics here.



Updates:

4/5/06
AH HA!

I found my first morels on Monday, been hunting every day since then.

Here are pics of the first finds of the season:


Unfortuantely I haven't taken my camera out hunting with me lately. I will soon.

Here's pictures of all of my finds from the past 3 days. Thats a standard Moto RAZR and my knife for reference...The knife blade is 3.25in. Pics:



A funky two "headed" morel:


In a container to be weighed:


They ended up weighing 3/4 lb. Wewt.

They're in the fridge for now, I'm going to cook them up tomorrow night probably.

I'll be hunting more tomorrow probably, looking for new patches. I spoke with LizardKing on the phone and he's doing just as well. We're supposed to go hunting for morels and check out the cube patches over the weekend, I'll bring my cam along.

Sometimes if you blink you can miss the season. It comes and goes pretty fast some years. The prime pickings that is.
It depends on conditions though.

Yeah, I only caught the last half of the season last year. I started looking at the end of Febuary this year. Still nothing.

Yessup: I usually find morels growing near hardwoods (Poplar, Elm, Sweetgum, etc).

It varies. I'm convinced that God hates Georgia. It got up to 85 here last week, yet it's supposed to be 54 on Monday. We seem to have a week or two of temps of 70-80 then a week or two of temps 45-60.

Morels have been found in georgia, texas, illinois, tennesse, kentucky, alabama, california, south carolina, and arkansas already this year.
Most of those finds in the last week. t's happening, although still early.

I'm gonna post my morel links again, hope you guys don't mind...

http://www.morelmushroomhunting.com/morelfinds.html
http://www.morelmania.com/6Sightings/index.html
http://www.morels.com/

Between those boards and maps, plus the ability to look at last yeasr fruiting patterns (via the old maps and the old posts), almost anybody anywhere in the country can not only get an idea of WHEN, but also WHERE the morels in there area fruit....
Good luck to you all, and i can't wait to see some pics of your morel finds...
peace

I went hunting for morels today, thought I saw one in the distance but ended up being a pine cone standing straight up :rolleyes:.  Wasn't expecting to much though since I can't even remember what rain is.

It is definitely an earlier season than normal. A friend of mine found 80 large Yellow Morels today in Georgia, tallest was 6 inches!

Nice finds. That "two headed" one is strange looking. Seems like quite a rare find. I've never found or seen any of those in pictures before, nice.

Very nice. What has the rainfall been like? I've been lookin here in SC and finding none. I'm thinking that it is just too dry. Then, I don't think you've got much rain either.?

It rained over the weekend and on Monday morning, I think. It's been dry since then, sunny with the temps near 80. Leaves are nice and crunchy when I'm walking around in the woods finding these things.

What is up dude, it's been a while.
Me and phish picked about 15 of the freshest morels I could ever hope for yesterday . I ate most of mine... WOW is all I can say.
Also, the subbs are booming, not in the normal spots though... I have a sprinkler watered spot.
Maybe you wanna go out tomorrow with me and phish to get more morels.
Peace
:peace:

ps-  phish, post the pics already!!! Call me after 2 tommorow.
I had a great time in the woods and out and about:sun:

Subbs, eh? I've been checking my backyard patch and I think it's dead.

I'd be down for some morel hunting tomorrow; I don't have shit to do. If phish isn't working tell him to call me(or I'll call him) and I can drive out there or you guys can come out here and we can look for some new patches. All the Morels I've been finding are retarded small; you've seen th pics. I want to find those 3-4" cap morels. I think the key is hunting near old trees and large bodies of water (ie: the river).

LizardKing and I are going to hunt morels/cubes this weekend so hopefuly I'll be posting pics of that soon. I'll let ya know how it goes.

It made me feel really full and glowing, after eating only a few with a medium spring mix salad.
With how rare they are and how they taste, compared to chanterelles, they are not a plausible meal plan for permanent midnight snacks.

No luck today at the Park,
I looked in spots that looked really good for about an hour

I work all day tomorrow, but I suggest to anyone look now, while they are still out. Now the wait begins.
*rain dance*
But you don't need the rain when you're the rainmaker(or sprinkler maker :wink:)
PS- do morels stay freesh when attached to the myc as long as other mushrooms? or do they stay mature and good looking for up to weeks.

How long will they be up( with this rain) and if I look Sunday, what are the chances of my luck in relation to the freshness factor.

>do morels stay freesh when attached to the myc as long as other mushrooms? or do they stay mature and good looking for up to weeks.

Not sure really. They do dry out. It seems like they last 3-5 days after they initally show up. Best to find them ASAP because slugs like them. I think something else may eat them because I've been finding a lot of stems with no caps.

As far as how long they'll be around I'd say another 2 weeks if we're lucky. They already seem to be slowing down so it might be just 1 more week. Their season is retardedly short.

I have gone hunting for hours and i have only found a single morel, and than a day before that i found another one that so small i never bothered to even pick it. I think im gonna give up on the morels and concentrate on some of the better foraging thats coming up soon.

Yo Flowie hit up my cell we need to do some foraging or something.

I hit you up, T-R-C, we need to hit it, fo sho.
check your PM's


Waterbug, you have no idea how lucky of a find it was.
He picked the spot to go check, and within the first 20 mintues, we found every single one there.
And then, over the course of 5+ hours over two or three days, me or him did not find another one .
The were absolutely fresh and awesome tasting . It was a blessing

THat's really sad.  :sad:
Did you dry any of your morels? I dried one for a keep sake, but I wish I could load up on them, for summer storage.
No rain on the forecast, high temps in the day. Pretty much it's over already, right?

Between me and my buddy we cooked up all 5 or so lbs we've found this season and ate them. :smile:

It's not necessarily a lost hope. I've been finding a lot of morels within feet of creeks or wetland... places that are inherently moist. Problem is that some of my best spots are a bitch of a hike to get to.
