The morel sighting maps are a great way to help each other out a little. Morel hunters often refer to 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?” The maps are a great resource on when one might begin their foraging adventure.
If you would like to submit a sighting, the guidelines are pretty simple, City, State, Zip code, along with and date found. If you want to add any additional information such as county, weather conditions, or an image that is fine (two-image limit). Sightings will be posted periodically throughout the day during the prime morel season.

2024 Morel Sightings Map
The 2024 Morel season is upon us! There were some surprising “landscape morels” found out in California, and the first official Southeast report came in from Georgia in late February. That being said, the season has officially arrived. A great many of you know what spring brings us…morels, and while many will have to wait, the morels are being spotted.
Click here for the 2024 Photo Gallery and maybe visit The Morel Store for those special occasions and gift ideas for the Shroomer in your life! Spend a little time on The Great Morel, and don’t forget to read some of the great articles.
Note: the sighting reports are updated periodically throughout the day during the prime morel season. Markers are dropped on the map by Zip and or Town name, not actual GPS coordinates.
There are plenty of features on the interactive map – double click on images to open full size, zoom, filter by month, full screen and more. Below the map you can find a table listing of the 30 most recent sightings along with images and notes if they were sent – there is a “more pages” button at the bottom of this table. 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.
