2018 Sightings Map

6,28,2018 in Androscoggin county Maine.

At least I didn't get skunked.

Yellows. Some dry, some fresh

Late spring, high temperatures 80's and 90's.

was pleasantly surprised when I found these. They are small and a bit dried out, found under dead elm tree, flat area with violets grasses and dandelions.

Morchella Snyderi

One jumbo morel found, 2+ ounces

Blondes - Really warm. Not a lot of rain lately. Morels were growing under live elms 20 feet from the Wisconsin river,east facing bank. Nice thick tree canopy.

blonde morels

Not much rain, doesn’t help the black morels. Looked for over 3 hours extensively on Thursday 5/24 and could only find false morels everywhere I went. After a rainfall there could be major growth coming soon.

Much dryer spring early on, not much rain to help out the black morels. White morels should be popping up after this weekend’s rain.
Found a total of around a couple dozen black morels in our spots, not as plentiful as last year.
Pheasantbacks are already up, and should be picked as soon as possible. The younger the better, and they get too tough when they’re old.

87° Hot, Sunny, Hillside, lots of undergrowth. Took a little break from work and found a few. GOOD LUCK!

Morel at home:   We've had a couple of hot, mid-80's days after a week of cold and damp. Found this one while mowing the yard. Just out of the yard in a flower bed.

a few by this tree

Couldn't believe my luck. Only 2nd time finding them. Dying elms.

first ever morel found!

First find

We purchased our house last year that has 11 acres of woods. I tried to search last year but the land was neglected for many years and the leaves and debris made it impossible to see anything. We cleaned up quite a bit of it and control burned the excess leaves last summer. This evening my husband and I decided to go for a walk in the woods to see how our fern gully was looking and as I was walking I caught a glimpse of something and went over to see what was coming up and to my surprise it was a bunch of morels!
Weather has been real wet and on the cooler side at night only 40's-50s. They were growing in a area that did not get a lot of sun, soil was a mix of rotting wood, leaves with loose soil underneath. Will be going out looking for more tomorrow.

87 and hot little grey's just starting

This season has been very late, I'm normally done looking by now. I believe the mushrooms should be showing up on the North side now. Almost everything I have found up to Tuesday has been on the top and South facing. Last week I found a mixture of Grays and blondes, but mostly grays.

58 yellows! All good sized and most fresh... Most were found with decent shade, moist soil, and at the top slopes of hills near a lake. None were found around excessive plant growth on the ground. May 18th after a good few days of rain and one day of cool temps in the mid 50s.

one small one big yellow

Found many dried up and past picking yellows this morning on the southeastern slope. but found a pound of fresh yellows on a north side damp ditch line. Season is almost over here.  I had a good season of almost 20 pounds found.
