2022 Sightings Map

Found a single slug-eaten yellow morel under elm after 2 hours searching in the cold rain. Season seems to be ending here. Go north!

Found them by the thousands 7-9000 ft in last years burn. 5 of us picked 100lbs and you wouldn’t even know we had been there. Sizes ranged from 1” tall to 5-6” tall (size of coke can). Date harvested 6/25.

Sighting on Grand Mesa outside of Hotchkiss CO.

It's not over yet, better keep on hunting. My curiosity got the best of me today and I'm hoping tomorrow is gonna pay off nicely.

Burn morels at Schneider Springs Fire area Nile, WA.  A large quantity of blonde and fire morels found in the mountains west of Nile, Washington (the Sept. 2021 Schneider Springs Fire area), at about the 4,000-foot altitude level. Pictured: Only some of the fire morels found during about 1 hour of hunting on June 7, 2022.

Three more husks… late season morels still count, right?  For any locals, the spot rhymes with bester boods.

Warming weather.

Yellow Morels - Belgrade MT

Been dry and was too far north for peak season. First and likely last of the year.

Morels June 1st - Overcast, a bit dry, wooded area on hill, found near large dead elm facing east.

Picked after the recent storms in Brainerd lakes area. 6-2-22.

Gimli, Manitoba, Canada - Lots of recent rain, temps closer to 10C the last couple weeks, 15C today. Verpa found 2 weeks ago, no morels last week.

Found 8 in shaded east facing woods on 6/2. Starting to dry out.

Found June 1st, hadn’t rained recently and temps were mild. Found many more!

Found 6 all together and all around large living Oak Trees.

Hudson, Maine Morel Sighting- May 25, 2022.  Just a couple of them. One other nearby that the chickens ate. Nothing special about location, just a short grass part of the lawn in a shady area.

Found in Woods next to my houee right next to trail i walk the dog everyday.

Morels in Manitoba -  Nature has provided excellent conditions and temperatures. I have never had better picks. They are elusive as usual but I have gathered about 3 1/2 lbs of morels. They should be a few weeks if the night time lows keep up as they a touch low. Precipitation is definitely lacking and have to find high ground.

Temperatures are running under 20 the last few days and sun is very lacking with constant clouds and precipitation. Nights are a little on the cool for the next few days. First picks were on May 28 and have had sparse pickings since. Ground I believe is ideal but fluctuates with the cooler nights.

Red Wing Morels - Humid

Again!  Cooler than avg but on/off rain, a couple stormy days in a row, cool nights, a hot spell of 3 days, then cold again…and windy days. Rules seem not apply other than one, the elms with birch bark indicating – also found many in grassy/mossy spots – some under pines and prickly ash near troubled elms….we netted over 14 lbs so far in 6 times out – I learned a new method: Revisit the same spot 3 different days, you won't believe how many you missed, how many more will pop – how many maybe you stepped on or kicked over. don't go for a walk, stand and spot, then close in – good luck! it is a blessed year for the elusive morel.

Large morel 5/31/2022 - Large morel at 4100 feet elevation in Bend oregon 97703. Weather has been cloudy with occasional light rain the past few days. Found in a shady area next to my front door.

First ones!  After major storms, among poplars, spruce and elms.

Black Morels - Found 6 black morels near a gravel pit. Conditions have been wet, temp was 65.

Found during 3rd week of May on wooded land; 3 yellows about a foot or two in from the trail, near what looked to be a giant maple, though oaks were plentiful…

Found 8 of them near the south Wallowa trail head on 5/29.  Weather was rainy 5/28 but the sun came out for the afternoon/evening.   Overnight in the 40's.  Sunny morning 5/29 we out and found these bad boys!!

Big Yellow Morels Spotted In 56334 - Today, 5/31/22, I have been hunting Morels in one of my spots where I have seen them before. I stopped there on the way back home from town for just a minute, to see if there were indeed any Morchella esculenta to be found. There was and is! I found one nice big Morel a few steps from my parked car and decided I ought to go home and change into something more akin for hunting fungi. I am sure there are hundreds more up there in my spot. I am changing clothes, writing this and heading right back out for more! Seems like perhaps a later season for Morels this year? At any rate, the one Morel I found so far is very fresh and leads me to believe that they are just coming up in my area. I guess we shall see. I will definitely let you know if I find lots more today. Thanks for an excellent and informative website! – BJM 5/31/22

Village of Morels – Marine on St. Croix…Minnesota

Finally found some...

Found 6 between 2 different proven spots – right along a trail.

Found this little guy in my backyard. Found this guy growing on my compost/mulch near my tomato bed. Just used a cheap compost/manure mix from my local home depot. Any extra water from irritation would drain into a trench. The trench was also somewhat shaded. Wierd to be seeing this in my suburban backyard of all places.

Morels in Manitoba -  It has been a very wet cold spring this year in Manitoba. Everything is later than it should be.

High and Dry - They are making me work.
