May I ask what type of habitat or what type of tree you found them by/under?

With the years of experience I have had finding these guys I compare these guys to the old game Wheres Waldo? But once you get the hang of finding them its like riding a bike...
When I first enter the woods I pick a row of dead elms and follow wherever the path of the next dead elm tree lead me. Finding your way back is the tricky part...

Well everyone says they like dead elms, ash and old apple ochards and even pine trees. But Ive found them everywhere this year and not in the likely places. I found Yellows under wild roses in a small pine forest mix, then some in a grass field near a creek out in the open that were yellows then On my own yard under a pine tree I got greys growing still. They are fun to find but can be a challenge.
My yard morels theres more but I like these best.
 One of my finds

Apple orchards, i heard that one as well. In fact the three I found I gave to a friend who has an apple orchard and elms on his land. Said he;s ganna try to spawn em, is it possible just by spreading the spores? i have a feeling NO

Its possible to grow morels on your own land but hard I read. Ive looked up alot about them and they can grow in sandy soil mixed with peat moss and ashes and wood chips and make a 5x5 bed get a LC or make one and try to get it to grow. I hope to do this starting this year since they came up and going to try and make a LC with one.

I'm not sure what they were growing around yet. The leaves on the trees are too small yet for me to identify, but I did take pictures and I'm going back in a couple of days to see if there is more. I'm sure they probably are growing all over the forest, but I noticed these because the blonde ones were growing right next to the trail. I wasn't really even looking for them this time. I was deep into the trail.
I'm going to cook these couple up in the morning. I know they're not much, but I don't want to waste them.
I saw 4 different kinds of mushrooms on this trip, 3 snakes and another Morel hunter who passed us on this trail before I found them. She hadn't found anything and then just a little while later I found them. It was awesome!

I wanted to do some serious morel hunting this year, but it's like the driest spring in 30 years or so. We only had two days of rain in the past 3 months or so and it's been a good 5-10°C too hot the past 1 1/2 months. I doubt that there is anything growing right now and I seriously doubt that it's going to be anything of a good mushroom hunting year at all even during high season if we don't get some godfuckingdamnpissing rain soon!

We've had a bit of rain around here, but it's been a bit cold. April was more like March and May is seeming a bit more like April, but not entirely. It's like we're a month behind.
By the way I just cooked up my 3 little morels and ate them. They really are good and I can see why they are sought after. They do taste a bit like steak.
