Earliest I ever found any to my recollection. I left em but took a few pics. The one pic w yellow circle at 5:00 looks like it might be a spike shed. Whatcha all think?

Finding Morels in Texas is tough with all the hogs.

Morel fed hogs have a nice ring to it though!

Turkey's are kinda hard on Schrooms too.

Supposedly morels are quite common over here in the UK, I've spent most of my 60vyears mooching around the woods and fields, don't recall ever finding one yet.

I've been finding the whites in my yard this week, at the base of oak trees???? Seems strange to me. I've found about 20 so far, wasn't paying attention and got 3 or 4 with the mower.

Been living here 10 years and this is the first time I have ever found them in my yard.

I suspect that with the changing weather patterns globally the last few years, ranges for a LOT of things are changing. I'm seeing weird mushrooms way up here, that I've never seen in the woods before.

Birds too... lots of weird Southern ones. Both fungi and birds seem to be the forerunners of change.

Maybe soon, we'll have truffles and morels here! Mmmm. No pigs either, so they might survive to eat.

Make sure you cook the morels. There was a person reported that
Ate some uncooked, why I don't know. They became from sick and
died in the hospital.

why would anyone think it a good idea to eat them raw? Found this little bunch last week.

The report I heard was they were in some kind of sushi. Just another
reason to stay away from that stuff.

Nice finds guys. I get bored with turkeys so it quickly turns into a stump shooting session. I've never seen morels here but I do see patches of ramps above 4000'. This season I decided to harvest some ramps for the first time. The wife and I made ramp butter and it turned out really good.

We are getting a lot northern birds in FLorida too...Snow Birds. About a 1000 a day.
Sadly Morels don't grow here.
