Daily find, some from Middle TN and some from Upper Cumberland area. Upper Cumberland seems to be at least 2 weeks behind Middle TN season wise.

If we had been closer to home to monitor them, we would have probably left most of the Upper Cumberland area harvest.

Tried last year starting mid season with no luck, but all the classic info had me right; between two dying elm trees on a west-facing slope near other moss and some patches of trilliums and mayflowers in loamy soil! I immediately stopped for the picture and to look for other ones (a good bunch after some searching, they were just poking out from heavy leaf cover!) and my phone died before I could take more pics. If I can edit later I'll add another pic of the full haul! Found around ten or more of these small guys total 4/6 after the early April showers!! Can't wait for more hunting.

First morels of season, 4th year same spot - This is my "spot" I have found them a few days earlier in years past but this was my 3rd time looking this year and found the first ones. They seem to be associating with a grove of sycamores with ash mixed in. Lots of leaf litter with some grassy areas mixed in, and a mini spring running through 50 feet away into the nearby creek. Then some to pop up randomly along the edge of the tree-line. I have a new theory that the sycamore leaves make little humidity domes and act as good incubators for the fruit body's, and i sometimes can spot them just by looking at a leaf poking up. It seems like the morel mycelium is coving the entire area. Some were easy to spot from 30 feet away and just as I spotted them I look down and found one at my feet I almost knocked down. The coolest one was the one it was begging to be harvested it was one of the nicest ones and already cut perfectly somehow. Found 25 total. Found 3 more on the hike out when I was about done. I knew right as I entered the area i said to myself this looks like a good spot, I look down One was right in front of me on the deer trail i was walking and looked to the side and found two more.

Finally.. - Where I usually find about a dozen total, I am finding dozens at each spot, and much further from the usual spots…all well to the west of usual locations (approx 50 feet west).
Near pines, but not under them, in grassy areas beyond the shadow lines.
No clusters of more than 2-3 near each other…mostly singles at least 6-12 feet apart.
Several warm days followed by rain, and they pooped up…has turned to frost over night and several cold days forecast…I suspect that will end them. But I'll go look anyway.

53120 East Troy wi
Jumbo morels - Perfect conditions for the area. 76° and sunny today with intermittent rain the past day, and days intermittently. These morels were found at a low elevation. Bottom of a forest floor. Hills surrounding. Dense coverage. I used my hiking stick to brush through foliage in known past morel areas. I can't attach pictures to this, the files of the images are to big. I'm sorry. Get out and hunt the low elevations now. This is the best year I've ever had finding morels thanks to the weather, lots of rain and temperatures in the low to mid 70's with overnight lows in the 40's.

Stubbled upon a black morel in Canmore Alberta today (June 5, 2024)
Canmore, Alberta, AB, CA

I have a few black morel spots that produce every year around CHVNP. Last year we were hit hard by El Nino and it got super warm by February-Early March. I wanted to check my spots not to pick any, but see the earliest morel I could find. I had learned from past years black morchellas do not mind light snow. I was not disappointed and found some as early as March 26th shown here in the photos. The crazy thing is that one by the moss could have been up 3-7 days before I found it!
