Morels

[Fargo]

Okay so help me out...I have NEVER found a "black" morel....can someone please attach a picture?...are they just snakeheads by a different name? Or are they a "true" morel that is black?

Not snake heads, they are hard to find and I have never found them while looking for other species. The only ones I have ever found were at a spot a buddy showed me where only they grew.

Hey Fargo! Where ya been?

Been a crazy past year or so, don’t do much online anymore. Still read, but don’t really post.

Maybe next year we can do some legislative work again.

Yesterday, I was pleased to find (28) on my little 7 acre Owen county getaway property. As seen, they're mostly small /medium greys ..... which I've always found to be the best eating size.

Even found a turtle guarding one of the shrooms !

I'm going to bread them, and fry them up tonight ....... it'll be a Feast of the Beast !

Found a dozen or so blacks and a couple of lil popcorn grays tonight

Took 2 of the grandkids out today. Found another 20 or so

Another ball cap full today.

 

[red_zr24x4]

About another 20 today. Mama's making meatloaf and I'm cooking mushrooms

Found another ZERO today which brings my total still to 4 this year. Glad you guys are finding them though.

 

[red_zr24x4]

Keep an eye out for ticks. They're those little bastards like last year.
I've pulled about a half dozen off of me so far this year.

Still finding lots of little greys not worth picking...waiting on the bigger ones to show up.

A buddy of mine from Jasper County posted a pic today of some he found. I was surprised to see a couple yellows already. Hope I have a chance to get out this week.

I got skunked again today. My Dad found a nice batch of 15 yesterday though. Going to have to keep him out of my spots

This was the same Henry County farm I found blacks the first of April. Slow progression of the season. Hopefully we get lots of rain this week.

We've been finding a few here and there over the last week of two . Went out last night and found over 70 ! Most all of them have been in the same general area , but man they showed up big time . I told my neighbor we found a bunch and he just sent me message that he found a couple hundred today . I'll be back out tonight for sure . Found one last night close to the size of pop can .

 

[ws6duramax]

Went back out tonight and ended up with 142 more .

My neighbor wound up finding 575 in about 4 hours . He has six kids , which probably have never been before , I don't think he's been out much before either . I told him its never that easy and enjoy it while you can . Chalk it up to beginners luck I guess . Wish I could make a haul like that at one time .

 

[yetti462]

Been awhile since I had a haul like that. 790 in one day is my record. Still finding big yellows, instead of cutting in half I've been quartering them.

Finally found a few Monday. Made a decent mess for everyone to enjoy.

Sitting in my easy chair with a belly full of mushrooms and sausage, listening to the rain falling. I dread the next few months to come.

The dang blasted gnats are so bad, it's hard to go outside without getting bombarded. Tried arrowhead hunting last night and got annoyed to the point of insanity. Once mushrooms/turkey season ends, we can fast forward to mid October.
