The Great Morel™ extends a very warm welcome to all its morel mushroom hunting visitors!
The 2023 season officially opened with the first sighting reported in Georgia in late February, thanks to an early warm spell. The morels have been migrating north as spring arrives to most of the morel land. Mother Nature has played her games all season long and the morels are up to her antics. It is what morel hunters have waited for, and while there are a few folks who may have to wait a while longer – morels are out there to be found.
It is that time of the year when we can rejoice in the annual ritual of the hunt for the ever-elusive great morel. May everyone continue to have a healthy and wonderful season!
The 2022 season came to a close, and it was certainly filled with mixed results for many morel hunters across the U.S. and Canada. There were reports of “huge hauls” as well as “just enough for dinner”. It often sounds like a broken record when reflecting on a season – somewhere between “best ever” or “worst ever”. Regardless, morel hunters everywhere loved every moment in the woods and will be ready to do it all again this spring. As with most morel seasons, morel hunters were blessed with the kindness of Mother Nature, and others were not. The 2022 Season was no exception –nature and the weather can play havoc on the life of the morel!
