  • I also found my earliest Morels this year on March 5th. In Charlotte, NC. My previous earliest date was March 20th.They love Ash trees and privet here. Ended the season with 206 Morels. It was a strange season where they came up early, then stopped, then had a second flush about three weeks later.

  • My first year hunting morel's in Oklahoma was AMAZING. It would be nothing to find over 250 in one hunt. 450 plus was our best day ever. Always in the same areas. Never 8 hours worth. over time, 3 or 4 years later, other people started hunting the land, we seldom ever go there anymore. A friend of ours has just a pinch of property and the morels grow in his front yard literally! He doesn't eat them (WHAT!!!) GIANT ones grow in a few spots, huge monsters! upwards of 9 inches. We get more than enough morels to last us and share with our son on his small patch of land (it. is. insane.) We never pick every single one we see. They are such a blessing for us to enjoy and we never have picked every single one we have seen either. The nice thing about our friends place is we don't have to worry about the wild hogs rooting or coming through. We have been blessed to avoid it but we have seen their destruction in the woods/forest. Thank you for your video!!

I havedound them in plowed fields 100 yards from trees elms pine spruce even cotton woods. Osage orange. Clusters singles. I have found grays next to yellows where grays were beer bottle size and yellows didn't get over 3 inches talk. Along creeks where I have picked 3 to 5 pounds daily in the same spot. In my yard 8 10 inches tall in the afternoon where u cut the grass that morning. Just got to look is all

I had to backtrack for 30 min. or more looking. I have used the mesh potato sacks and they do ok and are sturdier.
