Well its just about that time of year again to go out and fill your net bags with beautiful morel mushrooms! The past 3 years, going by the dates on my photos the season has started between the end of March and beginning of April and runs thru til it gets too hot for them. I always find them in predominantly hardwood forests near a water source preferably a creek, stream or river. get low to the ground and scan the surgace of the forest floor, they can be surprisingly hard to spot. I typically find them in sandy areas closer to the banks in leaf litter, but they can be found in darker soil near moss or grass tufts. i hope this helps you this year and good luck!! A few pics from last year...
  Here is a habitat pic and trees you should be looking for.

Went today and found about 20 gray morels. Forgot camera but Im going again tomorrow and I will take some good photos. Still pretty early in the season so i'm hoping this is a sign of very good things to come this spring. We need a little more rain though.

Been great temps recently here in my part of ga and I think everywhere in ga.
Definitely about to go out here in a little while once I wake up and hunt. Luckily I have a very nice big wooded area with a creek that probably runs for a half a mile all on public land directly behind my house. (:

I fucking hate leaves I wish they would live... lol.
Didn't find any BUT I felt lazy today and I always get distracted by other mushrooms.
I'm glad it seems to be working out for everyone else though! (:
