Red, Orange, and green give me trouble. When they showed me the color blind test cards, I thought they were playing a joke on me! I still don't believe that there is numbers on there!!!!
Morels
- Thread starter dirtysquared
- Start date
I went out tonight and found a flush of them in the woods all near poplar trees. I only picked a few big ones, and a few that had suffered some wind burn. I'm letting the rest get mature, I'll pick them Tuesday. The last picture I thought would be funny!
nice fred,
i'd have thawed out a pack of deer steaks to go with them
Your making me hungry!
I'm actually out of deer meat! That big doe I shot didn't last long.nice fred,

What day do you want to reserve a guided tour?
I'm down. I'm off call too so it work out good. There are birds everywhere too. A few nice longbeards.
We can ride too if you want?
pm sent with contact info, holler at me later in the week
we had birds going saturday
Tonights Haul. These are mine, my neighbor had a bag too. Soaking them now....frying them shortly!
I hunt them in northern indiana also. And have been hunting them recently in the Netherlands. They have a good climate and dirt to grow them here. We found 38 last weekend.
That's a good place too. Have they popped up yet your way? Check out this map.

Best tip is befriend an older guy that had been doing it for years. I had my grandpap show me some, and another older fella that I'd go with. They both are gone now, but I learned a lot.
Look for dead or dying elms. Not all of them are going to have morels by them. But it raises your chances. Look for green healthy looking areas in the woods, areas with umbrella plants are a good sign as they like the same type of soil moisture. The other thing they preached to me was look on hills and places that take morning sun....the ground warns up there first. And the most important....when in doubt, throw it out. If your not sure, it's not worth getting sick or dying over. Old Louie told me all mushrooms are edible... Sometimes just once!
Hope that helps ya
