Went to several spots and only saw babies. I think we have 3 weeks left in the season 4 if the weather doesn’t get to hot ...Bad thing is it frosted last night and one report says might get to 29 all the way down to Chattanooga a couple nights later in week . Won’t be good for the little guys.  Some large but mostly small blacks started to emerge in the higher elevations. They may take a hit too.

Big Yellows already out in Riley County - Yesterday picked up 19 big (2.3 lbs) fresh yellow / orange morels in one 10 yard square near Tuttle Creek lake, these were big fat rounders not the Christmas tree yellows. Forget about nighttime 53 degree averages there popping at daytime high mid 50's nighttime low 39. The little grey's were out 17 days ago and it was cold then also.
These orange yellow baby's are easy to spot 20 feet away – group was found in a 8 acre patch of typical nasty diseased /dead elms surrounded on 4 sides by wind swept feilds. Their not shy and were basically coming up in normal canopy with partial sun. Once snow melts and it warms up it should be optimal. Checked the Kansas river bottoms 2 days ago only found 5 tiny greys, their about done but good news is the xmas tree river yellows are not out yet so will be pounding the cottonwood patches every 2 days once snow melts.

After a stretch of rainy days, recent warmth seemed to bring about a lovely little 'patch' of morels. Much to my amazement, these were found at a side walks edge, in pretty developed area. About 7 or so caps between .75"- 2" could be seen beneath the shade of a white pine. This area is often mowed and is exposed to sidewalk salts and lawn fertilizer. Certainly a mystery to me!

South Plymouth New York, United States of America

Hate to say it, but things are about done around me as well. Only finding the yellows now and they seem to all be fairly dry. Definitely needed some more rain this year, and could've gone without those crazy temperatures. 70s during the day and 30s at night sure didn't help anything. Hope I'm wrong and some miracle happens that ends the season strong... Only found 45 morels this year compared to 289 last year in the same spots. Even found a couple new spots this year but to little avail. That's just the way it goes sometimes I suppose.
