[ACC]

I haven't found any yet.....just so excited for hunting morels this season. My neighbor in Parke Co said his friend in souther Indiana had already found some. Can't wait to see everyone's hauls this year.

I have heard they are finding some in Perry County. I'll be out looking next weekend while doing some Shed hunting and scouting for turkeys.

Seems very early, but I have seen pics of finds in Indiana also.

Last time I found any here in Indiana, it was at the Marsh Supermarket in Irvington for $50 a pound

If you are looking for them make sure you either own the land or have permission to be there.

I hate trespassing thieves.

I have no idea what mushrooms are OK to eat, but I heard you can eat any mushroom ONCE.

Luckily morels look very distinctive, hard to confuse them with a Toad Stool, or Death Cap.

Hoping to get out and do a little searching in Owen Co today. We've only found one on this farm to date but haven't made an honest effort hunting yet.

Wife told me of a find near Evansville, that was over the weekend past. I’ve found that for each 1 hour drive north the bloom is ~ one week away. So for us that’s about 3 weeks. Me and my hunting buddy used to tell each other April showers bring May mushrooms. But the weather is the deciding factor. I watch for the odd cars from out of county and state parked along hi-ways 41 and 63, near big woods, that’s my southern limit of permission and an hour south.

ps: I’ve hunted some spots for decades, I always take a couple dozen lbs. of hamburger, or roast, and one old timer a bag of Red Man chew. I keep my permission and good will with landowners it has helped a lot. Some spot’s I’m hunting the 3rd gen. of original permission. I trap fur on a lot of my mushroom hunting spots.

Hopefully they grow a tad. This warm weekend should help. There's 5 in this pic.

I couldn't have found those if I tripped and planted my chin on the ground 6" from them.
