Morels have arrived

[tween_the_banks]

We've been finding quite a few this past week. I thought those few cold mornings we had were going to stunt the existing fruits but it looks like it's going to be a really great season.

By the way, if you like mushrooms and like being in the woods, I just uploaded our first morel video of 2019 on Youtube: Zach Byrd Adventure Hour. I try to show what habitat we look for, especially tree species due to the symbiotic relationship morels have with certain root systems.

Anyways, post some pictures if you've found some in your area.

Thanks. That's close enough to me that they should be popping here, too. I may make a trip to the woods on Saturday.

This is my 3rd year looking for morels. Went looking today after some plans fell thru. I found my 1st morel! Then another and so on. I ended up with 12 in the sack but left twice as many or more to get a little bigger. Never thought I would get so excited over a mushroom. Going to go back and check a few other spots on the property tomorrow. I plan on cooking these tomorrow evening and getting my 1st taste of morels. This was in Henry county

I think we have a good two weeks at least remaining.

I wish we had them here, but at least we have chanterelles, cinnabars, and indigo milkcaps.

We isually have a two week window here. It’s usually the second and third weeks of April. If the conditions aren’t right at that time, there just aren’t any that year.
