I'm a noob but here is how I hunt for locations. I begin with google maps and locate spots along local creeks that look promising. You can see some of the flood areas from google maps. I'm lucky enough to have a local county website that tells me who owns the land also. When I find promising spots I zero in on public land like state game lands, federal forests, fish and game land and things like that.

My best spot was a half mile wide and 2 mile long lake 15 years ago. They tore down the damn leaving a huge flood plain that is always a bit moist but well drained. Best part is that it's long forgotten fish and game land so no one ever goes down there anymore.

Another spot of mine is a 3 mile stretch next to the creek with a path for utility vehicles down the middle. They pop up on that stretch in the disturbed grasses like crazy.

I feel like I see conflicting habitats..do these like wood chips or do they like streams?? Do they just like both?




They like both, but it really seems to depend on where you are.  I recommend trying to figure out if there are some people posting from somewhat near you in last year's thread and study their habitats.  Then learn to identify the trees and plants in their pictures.

With the covid-19 crap Ohio says we can go outside and visit parks still.  Just playgrounds are closed.  National forest where you are allowed to forage small amounts of mushrooms I imagine will stay open, at least for now.  Not allowed to pick in metro parks here.  With everyone home from work and school metro parks are packed with people around here.

Some of you all's pictures look like your spring is a couple weeks ahead of my area.  The place I originally found natural environment ovoids is 100 miles south east of me and looks like their daily high is about 5 degrees more than mine.  Maybe next weekend I will take a drive and see whats happening as I imagine that will pop off before my area.  May wait for one of the other people in that area to post a picture of a find since i have to drive a bit :smirk:.

As for mulch made from chipped pallets, I have at least one spot that a small bit of Ovoid material was transferred and it is at least colonized a big area since last summer.  Haven't seen it fruit yet tho.  I don't think pallets are treated with anything. At least some pallets will be made from pine tho.  I guess pallets could get contaminated with gross stuff tho.  Dirty greasy trucks and warehouses, leaking product.  After weather for a while hopefully washes off.

Getting anxious. Here is a picture of ovoid mycelium in wood chips.  Mycelium looks like it is waking up.  I don't think it was visible from the top like this a couple weeks ago the last time I went and checked on it.

All my floodplain finds have been next to rivers so maybe it is the flowing water needed to carry the spores.




  You have to remember that last year we had multiple floods which means that debris piles that produced before was washed away & now have to re-establish or recolonize the new.  Either by natural ways or help from man.

  I myself had a prime area that had a HUGE Box Elder right at the center which was located at on a River bend But as previously said, it as well as the original debris pile was carried away by last year's floods.

Koods you find more by rivers or creeks? Most my good patches are along big rivers but I do find them all along little creeks just in smaller flushes

Creeks. Rivers around here are too muddy. Even drainage ditches are hot

Ive noticed they tend to grow in large numbers at the bases of hillsides where all the sticks and water collect too

I’ve pretty much ignored natural habitats for the past few years. I focus on natural habitats with man made mulch. Gasoline on a fire.

So last year I found them in mulch later in the see season after I couldn't get by the creeks because of the grasses. Which pops first or are they equal? I can see the appeal when you know of enough mulch beds, but I have a mixture of both and I'm just trying to figure out which to watch first. Mulch bed. Mulch bed in the woods. Regular patch in the woods.

Dude, you have to be seeing some soon. Your 5 day average ground temp has been 55. You have to be within a week of something popping.

I'm in central OH. I've seen reports on Facebook of people finding morels in southern Ohio for the past week or so. Based on the "one week after morels" thing I've seen here, this weekend might be a good time for me to head south and get some fresh air! Looking at the weather forecast for my area, the 110-120 combined temps for 5 days will probably be reached this weekend, too.

have you found them in central ohio before?  i have looked hard the last two years and nothing.  I did find tho last May in south east ohio which I brought back material to central ohio and trying to get started here.

I am thinking Sunday/Monday may be a good day to head down to the spot in SE ohio I found them.  Looks like it would be 4 days highs touching the 70s and rain forecasted for days before.  I am pretty sure SE ohio will be a week or two ahead of central since the temp averages about 5+ more

My first ever finds were mulch on April 20th a few years ago. I will admit it was a weird scenario. They were about 30 yards from the stream. It looked like there had been a tree cleanup a few years earlier and they just mulched the trees and left the piles about 20 yards into the woods from the public trail that runs along the creek.  That year I ended up finding 3 different spots with mulch like that along a 200 yard span of that trail.  It was heaven. 1 lb total that year from that area. The following year most of the mulch was broken down and I only found a handful. Following year it flooded horribly and they've been gone ever since. As for actual wild specimens, I think they'll start growing a little later mostly due to the fact they usually have a little more shade and cover from foliage than the mulch mushies that have sun on then warming the mulch faster.

In my area combined temps are only around the low 90’s.  I’m hoping for a good season with all the rain we’ve been having. I’ve been checking known and seeded patches and in seems the mycelium is healthy.  Fingers crossed.  I look forward to seeing the finds from everyone south of me in the next few weeks.  good luck and be safe out there.
