Been cold here! Drainage ditch finally gave some up.

5 dried up yellows on a south facing steep hill. It doesn’t necessarily feel late in the season, based on greenery in the forest, just dry.
Hubertus, Washington, WI, US

Finally some consistent warm weather after some late season snow and rain.
Laramie, Albany, WY, US

Abnormally warm winter led to earlier sightings than I’m used to. Found a few good size black morels along the river between ouray and Ridgway around dead/ burned cottonwoods

84 in a spot we go to every year. Mostly on the dry side, but the saving grace was that the heavy leaf cover kept the ground moist enough for these to start i think.

Hinesburg, Chittenden, VT, US

I've never seen any before, so I wasn't certain, but I snapped a few pictures. I'm fairly sure these are black morels — I don't know a lot about their lifespan, so unsure if they're still growing, or maybe dying.
Dedham, Hancock, ME, US

Scattered brush alongside Air b&b’s yard
Verona, Dane, WI, US

These came up Thursday
Alanson, Emmet, MI, US

Super dry! They were all super tiny as well. Hopefully the rain will help pop a few more up! Most of them were a little dry, but they still tasted good!
