Morels 2022.

[Bstarkey_46947]

Checked my date stamps on pictures. Earliest was 4/19/21 Latest 5/12/2021 My data from 2019 and 2020 is within date range.
I have a couple spots I use as barometer and don't get too excited until I find them there. I actually take the surface temp of the ground. Magic number seems to be ~60 deg. F. I'm in Cass County.

When the ground hits 50F and stays there, we start looking. As a kid, that meant the yard had been mowed at least once and the trees were starting to bud out. South facing slopes and fence rows first, then you'd move on from there to other areas. My guess is we'll find some this weekend here.

I do not believe you.
Where, exactly, is this hideaway?

If your mod keys worked you could just look at his file…

Tough to compete for credentials when you're up against a mom with a nice pair of big











trucks.

I found a HUGE false morel today. They eat them in Europe, and I was tempted, but I left it alone

Sounds like a delicacy fit for a king.

There's folks here that eat them too. I just can't bring myself to try.

I have a friend who has grays come up in his yard every year. He told me he saw some yesterday popping up. He had to look close because they looked like rabbit "smart pills" they were so small. He tries to cover them because of frost but has not been successful so far. Larger ones will pop as the temps rise.

I'm figuring the weekend after Easter, it's supposed to be very warm.

In all of my 50+ years of hunting them, I've never seen something like that before!

 

[yetti462]

Today's haul. Got some trees that are pushing from last year. Got some new ones that are just starting, based on the size of trees and location, they should produce large hauls.
