This is my first year with Morrels, just got a small baggie from a friend! The majority of my life was lived in AZ....they don't got 'em there! Since I moved to OK I've heard alot about them, but didn't know anyone that actually hunted them, until now. I haven't found any on my land, yet, don't even really know where to look. The gal that gave these to me didn't have the time to hunt with me, but did give me some pointers only she said that they may be gone by now as they don't last long? I'm wondering if there will be a second flush of them this year here as we had a spring start and now we're having a bout of winter. Do you experienced hunters think I'll have a second chance?
Do you just sautee' them like store mushrooms? I've lived such a sheltered life, LOL

I know that here in Indiana there are 3 types of morels and the season lasts roughly a month, so there may be a possibility of finding more. Our season is usually from the second week of april untill the second week of may with Gray Morrels appearing first, followd by brown, and finally white. There is also another type of mushroom that we sometimes find and eat here, the name is rather funny, but a little dirty! Dog Peckers! I hate to say it but I have eaten a dog pecker! Some people (exspecially from KY) call Morels Dry Land Fish too. Hope this helps/makes you laugh! -Alan |

I found some morels the day before yesterday growing under my back porch at the base of a sycamore tree. It's the first time we've seen them in that area in a few years. Last time, only one came up, and my wife picked it. This time, two came up, and I told her to leave them alone and maybe we'll have more in the future!

Johno, need not be worried about leaving the morels in that same area to "reseed". The real "plant" of the morel is all underground and can be several meters large. The best thing to do to "spread" them, would be to pick fresh ones and hang them inside a onion sack/bag or one for fruit, up in a tree. The wind could spread the spores around.
The best books to buy are by a fellow names Paul Staments, he writes good stuff.
I'll post more in the mushroom section.
