The morel sighting maps are a great way to help each other out a little bit. Some refer the maps as the morel progression maps and they have always been a favorite. The Great Morel is often asked “is it time yet?” or “are there morel sightings in my neck of the woods?” A great resource on when one might begin their foraging adventure.
If you would like to submit a sighting, the guidelines are pretty simple…Zip, City, State and date found. If you want to add any additional information such as county, weather conditions, or an image that is fine. Sightings will be posted daily during prime morel season.

2021 Morel Sightings Map
The 2021 Morel season is finally upon us and for many, spring couldn’t get here fast enough. Many still eagerly wait for this map to start getting sightings on it in your own neck of the woods. The Southeastern states had their first official sighting reported Mar 4, 2021, which means many shroomers are already hitting their spots. The Morels are making their late season progression right on time too. While you are here, take time and visit The Morel Store for those special occasions and gift ideas for the Shroomer in your life! Also, don’t forget to read some of the great articles and spend some time.
If you have issues not seeing the latest sightings markers, try un-checking a month in the bottom left corner of the map and then rechecking the box next to the month. It should refresh correctly.
There are plenty of features on the new interactive map – zoom, filter by month, full screen and more. Below the map you can find a table listing of the 20 most recent sightings along with images and notes if they were sent – there is a “more pages” button at the bottom of this table. loading map - please wait... Big Yellows - Been hot and dry, found 7 under an old apple tree, the were all 6" to 8" tall. One Last Hunt Cold and rainy and then sunny. Morel Sighting - Kenora, Ontario, Canada - First morel sighting following the first rain of a very dry spring. Nice Haul - Hillside near dead elms. This was at elevation of 994 feet so it’s a bit cooler than some other areas in MA. The mushroom I saw was not quite at peak. It was growing in the shade near our deck. Northern Utah Sighting - Periods of rain thought out the past week. Highs have been in 60’s. Found three today in our backyard…our Rottweiler accidentally stepped on one. Found several in fresh bark at the new Quilceda Casino in Marysville. Finally found a good haul of palm sized beauties. Dry, hot day up here in Northern Michigan, so they were a little dried out, but still awesome eating. Fingers crossed for some rain so we might squeeze another hunt in before the season is over. Heavy rain yesterday. Found 10 large morels (18.7 oz) on our property when mowing the lawn today. Super super dry spring, did not have high hopes and there they were! About 2lbs. Found in second year burnover. Co. Spgs. Morels! South of Co. Spgs. 1st sighting - Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. First rains hit this week after a really dry spring. Black Morels - Portage la, Prairie, Manitoba Canada morels in Manawa WI May 6, 2021 Lots of large morels, the largest being 9 inches long.
