Still haven't seen them popping in Hamilton county...

Usually 1st on May they are in full bloom.

I cannot find a morel !
I look every year. find other 'shrooms...when their time is here.

Find all kinds of crap. from deer sheds to condums.

But....no morels.

With this rain we are getting and then the +70 degree temps on Friday, I am hoping this weekend is good hunting in parke County.

Wow is this cool! Just found out this morning I was selected for the 3rd annual mushroom hunt at "Vermillion Rise" a huge wooded area that used to be the ammo dump years ago. They do a lottery drawing and I got picked and I can take a guest, the wife. $25.00 donation that goes to the Parke-Vermillion animal control which we try to support anyway. Our newest pup came from there and she is one great mutt. I will update this Sunday evening on how we do. Has anyone else been able to hunt this deal? Jim.

Found some yellows for breakfast this morning in the rain, I'm figuring this weekend will be busy here in the GSF.

I found five of the yellow morels growing in my front yard today (in a spot where I have NEVER seen them before) while mowing the grass. I almost ran over them. I guess I’ll walk the woods tomorrow.

Went to my farm in Montgomery County yesterday morning, early. Walked 2.4 miles and did not find a one. Got a call around noon from a neighbor saying he just wanted to let me know that he got turned around and had "accidentally" got on the property while looking for mushrooms, then asked if I had found any. Yeah right, my guess is he hunts mushrooms there all the time and just happened to walk past one of my trail cameras this time and realized he was busted.

Went out yesterday on my property in Parke Co. All my normal spots were bare. Found 9 blacks along the lane where we have never found any before. IMHO it is still a bit early. We need a week or so of 70+ temps and they will pop.

Not much of season left after the whoppers pop

Found enough to make a decent mess. Owen county yesterday afternoon.

 

[Leadeye]

Out cutting up a tree today and found a few, we are eating them tonight.

I’m not much of a hunter but I almost ran over this one this afternoon. It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen personally.

They are starting to pop in Hamilton county. Found about 50 on Wednesday. Only kept about 12...most of the ones I found were the size of my thumb or smaller so I left them to grow and/or reproduce. Last year the first of May was the best time....looks like we are track for the same thing again this year.
