Gal friend of mines son found $1600 worth in 2 day.

Thinking about going out and looking here after while. Is it too late in the season?

Went looking last nite. Found nothing. Thinking its a day or two early still in Northeast Iowa.

Theyre finding a few over here, greys. Going out tomorrow morning, hoping for the best. May be my only chance. Maybe tuesday.

Anyone found any around southern MO yet?

I didn't know you were a Canuck

No idea, I'm a morel hunting n00b. Last year was the first time I went hunting, only found a dozen.

Dude, I was reading the found some replies and went giggidy

Then I saw 2013

Am disappoint

If we don't get some serious rain it's going to be yet another shitty year for them here.

They might be up this week

I need to make a few calls and find out before I go and waste my time

Ready for the annual morel feast

Just talked to my cousin in southern OK, he said he found a few last week.

I found a couple very, very small ones here in NW Missouri yesterday. Popped up in my parents yard. Hopefully we can some good rain, and warm weather soon.

There for sure out there. One of the crews working at Iatan Power plant near Weston Missouri brought in a 1 bound freezer bag chock full. They found them as usual on the Federal side of the 500 year Missouri River levee on the grassy 3:1 slope near edge of timber line. This was without much effort after they ate there lunch.

I fry them in a beer batter but like just as much sauteed in butter.

You can hunt them around all the usual places we all say. When the may apples pop near a steep creek bank, near dead trees especially elms. But what I have found is a morel will grow wear it damn pleases. I run into patches where I least expect them in open in tall grass. I once was about to hose down my central AC unit by the side my house. Right in the dirt next to the concrete pad was a morel. Looked a little more found 5 or 6 more in the grass slope away from the house. All I could figure is a few days befor I found a mess at work came home in my work duds and mowed the lawn. Must have had some spores on me. Havent found them there since.

Hope thats your dog and not wife what you speak :D

It's time.... there is fungus amongus...

Not here yet, soil temp just got to 58 degrees, and that was with the help of a 84 degree day yesterday. Also more than 2 inches below normal moisture. Sucks.

I found a small one but ties should be good

Friend posted this. Found near Gardner in the last few days...

**** **** **** **** ****

If dandelions were Morels we'd be in luck. Bumper crop.

haven't heard of any great finds this way yet, but I thought you had a spot you sold that might be a producer...

I know some sneaky ****ers lol

I mowed for the first time this year last weekend.
Had dandelions and wild onions standing a foot tall and the rest of my lawn is still dormant.

Found a couple after work :D

Can't wait. Will be eating them almost everyday soon.

heard I will probably get some tonight...

How are the ticks this year?

I was out fishing about 3 weeks ago and found one dug in later that evening.

That's nice....but this is a conversation about Morels. Try to stay on topic please.

Anyone find some yet?

I didn't but my grandpa in law brought home two wal mart sacks full of them. They are the only mushroom I'll eat.

A buddy and I went and tromped around for three hours and covered some decent ground yesterday. Found jack shit.

I guess I did find four ticks though. So I got that going for me.

Found 6 yesterday, saw a bunch more starting to pop up. Should be in full swing in 2 days.

A guy brought me probably a hundred and fifty this morning. Went to pick up an employee for work this morning and we picked 57 in his front yard.


They are rolling.

I'm headed out this evening to look.

I may go out between rains and search some tomorrow.
Looked around for a couple of hours while out Jeeping last weekend and didn't see a damn thing. Cept for ticks, found plenty of those.

in the bluffs down by Rushville found a couple pounds today. A lot of them were the bigger yellow ones

I found some yesterday

Not large yet but probably next week they will be. Supposed to rain this weekend so look out Monday

This wet weekend will have them exploding....

I found 4 that had been up awhile up north of Kansas City at the 3 corners

Had a high school buddy in SWMO post a photo of huge haul earlier this week.

Found about 25 in a 50FT square area today in Liberty...Medium sized yellows... More rain will got them popping more...

Found 7. Going again tomorrow.

Here in northeast ok people are hauling them in left and right. My dads got 165 acres may go look. What's the best place to look? I'm a newb to these.

Sandy soil and dead trees. River or creek bottoms are always good places to look

Found one nice one before it started hailing. Calling it a day until tomorrow .

I hope all the people who are delivering you guys Morels in plastic bags aren't carrying them out of the woods like that? Won't be a spore that hits the ground....

Did some looking while turkey hunting today. Through I nice wet area along a river with several creeks and streams running through. No luck I assume I probably missed some. I hear it's hard to pick out the first one then it gets easy after that?

I always look for the color of the mushrooms. Seems to be a color that doesn't match it's surroundings. And yes, once you see 1, it seems like others will magically appear before your eyes

The people bringing them to me have been doing this for quite some time, they know what they are doing

There's an auction house here locally where people will bring morels to sell. It's the only place I've seen where you can buy them.

Of course, you have to inspect before you buy, to be sure they're still good.

If they aren't using a sack with holes, such as an onion bag, then they are doing it wrong. I don't care how long they've been doing it. That's what I'm saying. Perhaps your guys are doing it right. Putting shit in plastic bags and buckets out in the woods destroys hope of high yield future crops because the spores aren't being released to the ground. That's the whole deal in a nutshell.

You are telling me anything I haven't known since I was a kid.

My people want their kids to be able to go to our old spots. That's why we don't tell out of towers where we go...


And real hillbillies aren't gonna leave a trail from the truck to the hole... Leave the spores there.


I think they have it covered

buy this and turn a section into morel country

http://www.amazon.com/Morel-Habitat-...l+mushroom+kit

If you could grow them commercially, you would no doubt become a multi-millionaire in a short time

I don't care for them. Because of their texture. My former in laws in Iowa would pick-em out there and serve them. Meh! Not bad, not great.

Gotchya. I just kept reading "I got a Walmart bag full," and was very much saying to myself "what the **** are these people thinking?" Not saying it was you, because there were a shitload of those posts in this thread.

Sorry your in laws suck at frying mushrooms. That is the only explanation

Yes, they are one of only a few I like to eat

2016 bump

Heard of a couple reds a couple miles south
of me.

Shouldn't be too long now. Still a little too chilly at night me thinks

Higginbothams found a few out by their upholstery shop today

Was thinking about this thread yesterday :eek:

I know a few people who are finding them but they are really small.

JOPLIN, Mo. -
Morel mushroom hunters across Jasper County say they've noticed the fungi popping up earlier than usual this year.


Ron Cook, the administrator of the Missouri Morel Hunting Facebook page says his followers have already reported sightings in the state. The Kansas City-area resident has created a map with the reports, which indicate a progression line of morels appearing from St. Joseph to St. Louis.

Ike Wortman, a hunter from Webb City, says that he found 63 morel mushrooms in a 30-by-30-foot area on his family's farms in McDonald County. Skylar Outt, a hunter from Reeds, reported a find on her first day hunting in Jasper County.

The Missouri Department of Conservation says prime morel habitat is near dead or fallen trees or along river bottoms.

Anyone find anything yet?

Yup

Nope. And it's not for lack of trying.

Aren't you up in the memphis/la plata area or has old age finally got to my memory?

Not yet, but I've seen others who have.

I found two very small grey morels yesterday. Nothing else yet. Supposed to rain tonight, then be warmer for a few days. That should get it going

No mush luck.

I'm getting antsy. I've looked the past few days with no luck.

not me, im quite a bit SW of there.

lol dementia it is then. :shrug:

Haven't had the warmth up here yet.
