Morel Mushroom Season

[commonality]

Any ideas on when, with the unusual whether and such, morels season will start?

I think typically we need a combination of rain and heat to make it nice and humid. I don't think we'll find any in the snow.

I believe it needs to get up around the 60's for them to start growing. With any luck it will warm up after this snow coming in today and maybe we could be looking at mid April.

Umm, considering we now have about 2" of snow on the ground, its going to be a little while....

You find them because you trained your dogs to sniff them out!

Every year I have an over abundence of these ball shaped mushrooms EVERYWHERE some get big(softball) but most stay around golf ball size looking for a good site to ID them and possibly recipes???

Are they white? They sound like what are called "puff balls". As I understand it, you can eat them at a certain stage but they turn poisonous if you wait too long. See if you can search for "puff ball mushrooms" and maybe you'll find the info you're looking for. Good luck!

Start looking in Central IN just after Easter. Two years ago, I found three five-gallon buckets full in a woods near my house.

Allot of heat! the real question is will the moisture stick around for the heat?

I can't wait. Turkey season and hunting Morels at the same time.

As for morel season, we are obviously a little while off.

My best method for timing is to see what the others plants are doing. How tall are the mayapples, trilliums, etc. when you see them growing then its mushrooming time.
