If the CDC....Center for Disease Control ....is worse next year we're all in trouble. They've done a poor enough job this year.

Hey Buckeye2B....Is your Gov gonna allow you to get out in the woods and hunt for Morels this year? If not, they'll all go to spore and will be thicker than the Trillium next year. That being the case, even I should be able to find a garbage bag full of em, south of Frankfort next May.

An amazing stat from Guv Cuomo. In a recent 3 day period, 66% of all new COVID-19 cases in the State of New York, have come from people who were sheltering in home!?!

I just found three in my front yard under two apple trees and in an area that was completely dug up two summers ago. (The apple trees are on the end of a raised septic field...) I always found them at the old house also under the apple trees in a small orchard we had. Gotta love the flavor of morels...

I'm not skilled at finding them. The only time I found more than one was also under an old apple tree. When I was a kid we lived on a farm, there was this huge old apple tree that had branches the hung across the drive over the front yard. I went out to play in the old milk house in the front yard one day and saw something yellow. There was 6 or 8 big yellows in a bunch in the front yard! I "looked" in the same spot the next few years....nothing.
Last spring when opening my summer place on Lake Michigan I went out to get a few logs for the fire place, looked down and there was ONE morel. I gingerly picked it, walked circles around my place and my neighbors places, who weren't there, hoping for more...none. I took that singular mushroom inside and babied it when getting the sand and insects out of it, fried it up and ate it, a few small bites at a time.
True story....A few years ago I was up there with my brother-in-law, who purports to be good at finding them. We went out and weren't having any luck. I glanced back at the road and I saw this car being parked behind my van. This guy gets out of it and took off running, right by us, up over this hill and out of sight. WTF, i thought. After not having any luck we went back to my place, near it is a small privately owned motel. There was the same car. Leaning against the motel, near his door, were 3 large clear plastic garbage bags FULL of morels. He obviously was out looking and found A LOT more than he could fit in his one brown paper bag. Went to a store and bought some big bags and was returning to the honey hole he had found.

LOL...good story and so much truth to it. My wife and I were in Pennsylvania 20 or so years ago, and it was the beginning of trout season and why we were there. My in-laws live on a stocked trout stream and the darn things weren't biting, so even though it was a little early for morels, I talked her into going for a morel walk in the local state game lands. I figured it was worth a shot... We have no idea where, but were just kind of randomly walking about and came across a guy walking out with a clear gallon bag full of them. We asked if he left any for us and he said he thought he got them all... we kind of ambled aimlessly in the direction he seemed to be coming from, not really knowing where was best to look, but we figured it out finally.
Needless to say, we hit the motherload that afternoon.. Between then and the next day, we picked over 400 morels on that little plateau on an old strip mine. I still assume that the wind blew just right and the soil was just the right acidity with the small bits of coal in it. I came across a grassy top of one of the coal hills and found at least 40 of those monsters right on the top of that hill, and all of them were about 6-7 inches tall. I was simply amazed.
We have been back there on the same plateau since then, but never seem to have the timing right and have only ever found just a few there ever again...but that year?? Just wow!!!
