In Oklahoma it’s starting to die down.

Will be going out this weekend in east central ohio. Will report back. Based on the weather we've been having I'm expecting stellar results.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens in our neck of the woods. I would guess that we are close to 3 weeks behind on snowmelt.

Walked one of our best spots yesterday in Harrison County. Found 5. None big enough to harvest. It was very dry. We kicked up dust as we walked. I have a feeling with the couple days of rain in the forecast, things will be in full swing next weekend. The cold snap Monday and Tuesday will slow things down, but it's back up to seasonal temps by Wednesday.

Anybody finding them yet and what part of the country are you in?

Late spring in southern Iowa I gotta think they’re 2-3 weeks out

Still about 2 weeks out on the front range in Colorado, I do believe. Last year was so bad though. Really hoping for more rain.

That's awesome. Hopefully they're up here too. Heading out tomorrow to look.

Well as long as we're sharing past pictures. This was our best day. Two of us in an afternoon walk between turkey hunting. Just over 400.

That's a haul.

That's a haul.

It was a great day. We picked over three thousand that year. Over two thousand the next year. Then last year I drove down to camp to find the sycamore flat where we pick them had been clear cut and made into a natural gas well head. What was once the best morel spot in east ohio, is now a giant gravel pad.

My favorite spot in colorado had a similar issue.

Not gonna lie, that one took some getting used to. I've lost more hunting spots than I can count. I always take it in stride. Wasn't my land and I was lucky to have access to it while I could. But losing my mushroom spot was a harsh kick in the balls.

My spot is public land. It looks like some of the undergrowth is coming back, and ive found some morels there again. But it went from prime habitat with downed cottonwoods that would have huge flushes around them, to mostly thorns, willows and grass with a few morels here and there.
