first morel 2022 - Hamilton County. Illinois.  total of 7 found, ground temps are around 48 @ 4 inches, gonna be a fast season for blacks here.
Broughton Illinois, United States of America

As stated I live in the Pacific Northwest. Recently in March I discovered clusters of Morels, in two locations in my yard.
One under a small-ish plum tree, and the other under a leaning apple tree.
The plum tree group of fungi is larger in numbers and individual size. They also seem to favor the artificial 'dry river rock bed' I created under that tree. They are black in color. During winter, the rain coaked remnants of a briquette bbq were also dumped at the base of this plum tree. The spot recieves sunlight from 12pm to basically sunset. No foot traffic and minimal
disturbances.
The apple tree group is in two small pairs. One having a second growth with cap. The other being two individuals, separate from one another. This tree might be in trouble, but still produces a massive amount of apples. At the base of this tree there
was a pile of rotten cardboard and misc. wood pieces, sitting for over a year. Only removed within the past three weeks.
These groups are both a very light greyish color or foggy blue. In the white category for sure.
I have not seen Morels any where in my neighborhood. I would be interested if anyone else nearby has come across them.
Seattle Washington, United States of America

Early gray - Southwest facing hill, lots of sun, same early spot every year! Very tiny.
Piasa Illinois, United States of America

Landscape Morels - Landscape morels popping in the backyard after spreading locally sourced wood chips (arborist chipped a couple of trees in the neighborhood) last summer over year-old supplemental top soil and compost. Various landscape shrubs, flowers and berry bushes are planted in the midst including an old apple tree, however only one of the morels is in the vicinity of the apple tree — seems more to do with the wood chips. Would love to know if there's a way to get an annual rebloom.

It’s basically good mushroom weather, a little on the cool side (we had a low of 29 the other night, cold enough to freeze the begonias some.) Daytime highs are in the high 50s, low 60s. And, of course, it’s Washington, so rain and showers, although we’ve had good intermittent sun.

Barrington New Jersey, United States of America

Backyard discovery of about 15 morels, 4/9/2022 - Recently the daily temp’s have fluctuated from the low-mid forties to the mid seventies. The current spring has established itself, with solid days of upper sixties to mid-seventies, but with some nights dropping almost 30 degrees at times (but no real threat of freezing). Haven’t sustained many heavy rain showers, only about 1/3 inch of rain in the last week, but the lower nightly temps and shaded areas have held on to some of the moisture. I did not think morels prospered in this area. The area of the heavily managed ground where found is within 20ft of the dwelling, at the edge of maintained grass lawn and annually mulched bed. Large camellia trees, hydrangeas, lilies, wood orchids, hostas, and an old cedar tree stump occupy the ground where the mushrooms came up.

Morels in Rogers County - I went Morel hunting April 22, 23, 24th
April 22, I was walking a trail when I saw this big giant brain looking mushroom I'd never seen before. I identified it as being deadly and looked up and right behind it was 1 medium size morel. I looked all around but found nothing in the immediate area. I moved to the level just above and found a patch of 8 morels in a straight line. The first one was HUGE, and I left it. About 2 foot away were 3 morels together, and they were all the same size, about the size of my hand. I'm a small female. Another foot from those was yet another but slightly smaller morel, and another and the last one was about the length of my index finger.
First finds of my life, as I never hunted morels before. This was sheer accident, even tho my brother had asked me if I ever see morels while I'm out hiking. I said I photo'd a bunch of diff. mushroom last year while out on the trails, but none were morels. Needless to say, I immediately caught the fever.
April 23, I get up and go to a diff. spot. Lo and freakin behold. I parked right next to a patch of 7

I went ahead and took them, as they were all pretty much the same size and one seemed to be starting to dry out a bit. Kinda odd, but the weather has been odd.

Not like I see pictured on here. WOW! In my dreams. I knew today would be a good day to go, since it rained a couple of days ago. I was out hunting in the rain. I found one lone morel. Anyway, they are still out there in my neck of the woods. HAPPY HUNTING

I have been hunting everyday for the last week looking for life and finally saw lots of life yesterday. I’m no expert and have no idea how fast they grow, but they are only the size of my thumb. I believe the rain we are supposed to get tomorrow should help them grow!

l6a-3y5, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 05/23/2022
may 23, temp today 42-61F, moist ground after rain 2 days ago. These grow in my yard, in middle of a suburb, on a gravel road beside the garage; full sun but some plants growing over them
last year was the first time I found them (many but smaller); this year I found only 3 (so far) but humangus; probably there were more but i shared them with wild life; I gave up thinking it was a fluke last year and I will never see the again when I almost stepped over them today- isn't that NICE?!?
I will look again next few days- maybe….who knows?
30 years ago used to be apple trees close by- the mycorrhizae survived… (cunstruction site, cars, heavy boats, daily passing over, about 2 ft compacted gravel and what-not); under the gravel must be pretty rich soil because are plenty of nettles growing there (nettles growing= rich soil); my morels are actually growing under spontaneus wood anemones (that also would have no place to be there because is dry and sunny- but they are and grow on steroids) Sorry- no image on location (and bad picture as well); if I find more I will post picks; the fork is for reference (these are only 3 BIG mushrooms)

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

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.

R3K 0C6 Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 06/01/2022
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.

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

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.
