Any mushroom gatherers

I was shocked these were up. We had 3.5 inches of snow Wednesday morning and 24 degrees. Frosted several mornings last week but they are up

 

We picked 20 whites today. Left about 10 small ones to grow some more.
Hopefully the warm nights coming this week will make more pop up.

 

Curious, what are whites?

 

This

 

Those are called yellows around here.

 

That sounds delicious for sure.

 

Not sure if anyone has tried this -

The Secrets of Growing Gourmet Morel Mushrooms

 

It has been a little cool here but I’m hoping to find more. These two were last Sunday.

 

Well those two look a little um...uhhhh... different....

 

Dogpeckers

 

found a few today

 

it’s a start
so dry here we need rain bad

 

These popped up after a few days of showers. Right in the lawn, full sun.

 

Looks like ours are over.
Found 3 big white/yellows today that were old.
Spread one out and hung 2 in a tree to help spread the spores.

 

I like that. I'll hang the 2 in a more wooded area.

 

Happens the same here.

 

found these Saturday.

 

Do you know or believe that this works? I've read of people putting them in mesh type bags when collecting to spread the spores around the area where they're harvesting.

When we first started finding morels, we marked some of the spots with surveying pin flags right beside the morel. Other spots we marked with flagging. Not sure how a morel grows, but checking the pin flag locations in later years hasn't turned up much, so they must not definitely grow in the exact spot (like from some kind of "root" system or continuous active point source...don't know what to call it). Perhaps somone here can explain the growth cycle/habit better...

 

I have a dedicated mesh bag.

 

I’ve found a few bigger than these but this is the biggest group I’ve found. All within 5’ of each other
