Very nice! Are you going to make entries on the annual Morel hunt page?
Happy mushrooming!

Do you eat morels? I'll assume they aren't psychoactive.

Yes. Quite possibly the best edible mushroom ever.

Thanks guys.
I'll get some more pictures. Ive been picking them, but, I keep forgetting to take habitat pix. Yesterday when I brought my camera there were some slim pickings.
MycoJunkie: Yes, they are edible and very good. Not hallucinogenic.
BTW -- Anyone know how fast these guys grow? I dont know if I just dont see them very well, (because they are god-awful hard to see) or what, but, everyday I go, I find more and more. Even when the day before I picked all that were good. They seem like they grow really fast.

You can never find them all. I sat at the foot of a dead elm tree for about half an hour last year and found 15 of them. Then I left and searched around some more and returned to the tree an hour later and found a few more.
Those little buggers are damn near invisible.

a few years ago i was in little yosemite valley with my friend and his (then 14 years old) step son. I had to run interferance while my buddy smoked a bowl so i took him hiking to look for bears. We were in an area that the river washed out a few months earlier so i told him there is a mushroom that grows in this stuff that looks like an upside down pine cone and they are very good. So we both looked down and we were standing a patch with about 100 morels in it. We picked a shit load of them and took them back to the campsite. WE had too many to eat so we gave them to other campers in the area. Most knew what they were because the area is littered with hippy liberals

Not like I care about competition, but, once again, these are just a few of my finds.
I have about 35 dried ones sitting right here next to me. I guess they were in the pounds when wet.
... I wasnt aware that they grew in pine chips.
Ive found some black morels growing last year, but, have only found these white ones this year. The black ones were way bigger. These white ones are only 3-6cm in height, and I just read that that is pretty common.
Weird.

The folks at mushroomexpert.com have been doing a progress map each year for the past several years. Here's a link to this year's map. There are links on the page to the places where you can go and say you found morels (and approximately where) so your find will show up on the map, too.
Happy mushrooming!

"ShroomyOfDoobie: I hate to break it to you, but, those wood chips were you think you're finding cyans are actually pine as well! "
actualy no, I asked the people there and the wood chips are eucalyptus.... hate to break it to YOU!
And like I said, the cyans there have some sort of relationship with the bushes. And YES they ARE cyans, if you still think they aren't your insano, ill even show them to you.
And I wasn't going for competition, I was just kidding around.
And good photos and finds anyways angry.

lol.
Well, I htink its a mixture then. My buddy is a landscaper...
I dont know man, those are sage bushes or something. I've seen a lot of mushrooms growing through there, but, I sure as hell havent found any cyans. You really need to either scan them or take some regular photos and scan them.

Perhaps this is a bad place; but I will ask anyway.
If anyone happens to find morels in woodchips on the west or east coast, I'd very much like a culture or spore print.
Thanks.

Two years ago I found a single large gray/white morel growing from a garden which had been mulched with pine bark the previous summer. I thought that was really weird because the only place I have ever found them is at the base of dead hardwood trees, usually Elms.
Also a little off topic, but hey its morels I've been wondering about the relation with dead elms. My original theory about this was that the fungus is a parasite on elm trees which infects the host and fruits from the roots after the tree is dead. My brother had a counter theory; the mycelium forms a symbiotic (mycorrhizal)relationship with the tree and stores up nutrients underground. When the tree dies (for what ever reason) the colony realizes that it will not be far behind and dumps all its energy into spore bearing fruit before it dies.
I also found a black morel last year which was firmly attached to a single strandlike root under a live pine tree. There was no mycelium visible at all, just the mushroom attached to the root. So this seems to support the mycorrhizal theory. Yet I saw a thead here where someone had limited success cultivating them on wood chips.
I've also read that morels may be a vast complex of species, each with its own growth parameters. Some may be parasitic, and some may be symbiotic, while others eat pine bark mulch.
Does anybody really understand these mysterious fungi?

I actually found a little cluster in woodchips last spring, oddly enough the first morels I ever found!!!
however, I didn't get a culture of it... I'm up in that area frequently so I'll check back this spring and try and get one for you and I both

The last time I heard Nancy Weber speak (she's a prominent morel authority among the professionals), she said that recent research suggests that morels seem to be both mycorrhizal and saprophytic.
Here are a couple good articles on recent research on morels:
http://www.bluewillowpages.com/mushroomexpert/morels/recent.html http://www.bluewillowpages.com/mushroomexpert/morels/mordat.html
There are also links on those pages to other good articles.
Happy mushrooming!
