My dad, the great morel hunter, thinks they're already over for this year. He found very few. It seems like they come up all at once and then they're gone in a hurry. I looked around our elm trees just in case but have never found any there and didn't this year either.
Wish someone would discover a reblooming morel. : )

Found one in our backyard of all places!

Discovered it Wednesday evening. Verified it the next day and ate it. First timer. It was delicious.

Was it under a tree or out in the open Violet?
I checked the areas where we cut down trees after the ice storm but found nothing.
My dad found some more on Saturday after he said they were gone and shared a sandwich bag full with me.

I'd say it was about 8-10 feet from a tree in the corner, growing right in the middle of normal lawn grass that was high at the time. I talked to a serious morel hunter (who also identified it for me) and said they can grow in full sun and part shade so it was likely spores carried by wind. This is the first time I've ever seen a morel in my life and we've been on the same property for several years now. You're fortunate you got to enjoy more than one!

My neighbor looked up at Stockton Lake area and she just found 8. Maybe this just isn't a good year for them.
