California morels, in mid winter......
    #26447829 - 01/23/20 09:03 AM (4 years, 6 days ago)

The other day I was in the Berkeley Bowl grocery store, they have the most amazing mushroom offerings all the time.  To my surprise they had beutiful morels that were labeled from California.  I thought morel were only available -en masse- in the spring.  So is it common to have them available in mid winter/January?  Seems odd......  Climate change?  Anomaly?

I saw them there too and bought some....some were massive.  Struck up a conversation with a woman who was also surprised to see them

Probably cultivated in a heated greenhouse.

:confused:
Super helpful.

I found morels in the San Luis Obispo area many years ago this time of year in an oak grove very close to the ocean.  Don't remember if it was particularly warm that year. I'm by no means a morel expert and find them oh-so rarely. Wish that wasn't the case, but haven't quite figured them out locally. Alan Rockefeller gave me some tips at a recent talk in SF, but even then he said they don't usually show up until mid-April locally (SF Bay Area).

If I'm not entirely mistaken there is at least one species that can appear independent
of the regular morel season, which I believe is Morchella rufobrunnea. I see on
MO that they have been found in California in the winter previously.

Perhaps you could just go and ask them what species they supposedly are selling.

Get pictures of them so we can determine the species.

Most undoubtedly are landscape morels but I doubt they are Morchella rufobrunnea if they are "massive" because rufos are small even though rufos are landscape morels. Most likely they are the Morchella importuna species that the Chinese have been cultivating outside
