Morel report?

[NOCK NOCK]

Probably our last haul for this year. Found a lot at 6000'.  6 pounds today puts us at about 30# for this year. The dehydrator is getting a workout.

I’m confused, do the different areas have different seasons? We found our first ones of the year just 2 weeks ago. Last year my mom was picking like mad in mid June? Also we’re staying unusually cold and rainy right now, gonna be looking for some this weekend

[NOCK NOCK]

really depends on the area/weather/elevation.

Well thought we were done for the year, but.....they are still going strong in our main area. 

Pretty sure this mild/cold spring is letting the morels have a second go round. Found several that were grouped at the base with one of them dried/shriveled up, and the other in perfect condition.

Didn’t turn up any morels but we got a big bag full of shaggy manes, only have found those in the fall before.

That’s interesting on the shaggy manes I have never seen except fall? Also never found morels this late either. Weird year I guess

[quackkiller]

Yes on the weird year welcome to 2020!

Thank you to out house (I have no idea how to tag someone but thanks for the input I had a decent day over on the dry side thank you much man!!

[OutHouse]

Still finding them...right around 6,000 ft.

[Onewhohikes]

any more left?

Still finding them...right around 6,000 ft.

They are still around but gotta be at the elevation she was at or higher. The problem in my area is there is a lot less habit for them at that elevation so I am pretty much done for the year. IN any event, I may have warned of this already but don't eat a bunch of morels when you have been drinking (excessively). Got nasty sick, looked it up, and others seemed to have the same problem but not everyone. I'll be waiting a while before I bust out the frozen ones.

Was out checking cams this Saturday and found a lone morel, 5800'.  Have never found 1 this late in the year before.

That's amazing! I've moved on to picking berries and thought morels were long done!
