Morels

Its that time of year again. Morel hunting has begun. I found my first Morel yesterday. It is getting to be just about the ideal conditions for morels to sprout. Morels like it moist and temperatures to be about 65 degrees to 75 degrees in early spring. Also morels do not like frost at all. This year is looking great with all the rain in the last couple weeks. Where do you find there mushrooms. You find them in wooded areas with dead tree limbs and leaves scattered on the ground. They especially like ash and maple trees for some reason, I am not sure why. It takes a trained eye to spot these mushrooms. After finding a few you will get your eyes trained to pick them out of the leaves and debris. . Here is a picture. Happy mushroom hunting.
