Mushroom season in?

[josh25]

I went to the woods this morning for a few hours and found one mushroom(morel). Anyone else been out, or had any luck? If warms up this week it may be time.

What in the heck does that mean? Or, are you just trying to get your post count up?

And for those of you preparing for mushroom hunting don't forget this little item. It seems to be well suited to hone your shooting skills specifically for mushroom size and height targets.

I'm trying to make a full service post, however, I cannot find the link to the IN laws that describe the calibers allowed for mushroom hunting. And, yes, just in case it isn't obvious this is all in purple.

WE need 5 days over 63 and sunny for them to pop in numbers. The little greys first.

I have had them on my mind, but it has not been anywhere near warm enough for them yet up here.
Looks like it will be a bit of a late season.

I'm ready. I just wish I didn't have so far to go to get to em.

This year, I won't have to worry about all the contractors stealing them.

I spent 6 hours today between some strip pits near Petersburg, Glendale, and just south of washington. Between three of us, we found one black. It was fresh. One of the guys I went with swore up and down that they had found 68 mid to small blacks last night, but but they sure weren't out today.

I think it's still very early for most places, but you might blunder into a bunch of early ones.

Wow, Snow? That sucks. Sorry.

I've looked into this in the past. I'm just scared to death of grabbing the wrong kind. Does anyone know of a good book off the top of their head?

Most libraries have several books on morels but I would suggest hunting them with someone that has experience and you will be fine. I was always concerned that I would get the wrong kind too but once you see morels you will know what to look for. There is a type called a false morel that is poisonous and supposed to look similar but to me it looks quite a bit different than an actual morel mushroom. It just takes hunting a couple of times with someone who can show you the right types and you will be confident to do it on your own. Have fun and good luck!!!

This was one of my prize "catches" from last year. I'm gettin' itchy for the weather to get right.

You think you have it bad! I actually have had to walk to the OTHER side of the house to find the batch that has been popping up the last few years.

Guy I work with brought in a cellphone pic taken early last week, or maybe the weekend just before, 3 nice big grey morels.

He lives in Brown county, I assume they were out there, he won't say... Lol.
