Sorry I forgot to respond. if you cut them in half, lay them out on parchment individually, and freeze them that way, then you can put them in a container after and store them frozen. They will last a year that way. I think they freeze way better than they dehydrate. Unless you have access to a freeze dryer... That is the best way to do them.
I spent all last week north of Lewisburg, spots I found them consistently for the last 20 years were bare...I think it got too hot too fast...the vegetation on the ground was waaay greener and taller than usual for this time of year. Of coarse it had to snow last week too...sure that didn't help...
What state?

Unfortunately you never see any reports in Wyoming.Morel Mushroom Sightings - Maps
The Great Morel sighting maps are a great resource for monitoring the progression of the morel mushroom and when one might begin their foraging adventure. New and improved morel sightings map along with historical maps to help monitor and watch for the morel coming to a woods near you.
I recommend this. Very reliable
I was up Sunday in one of my early season calf brain spots and there was still 18" of snow. All of this talk of folks finding morels has me jonesing to find some, but Ma Nature is going to have to do her part.
Freshies!
only a couple were dry. not bad for around here.
What elevation are you finding them in Colorado? I’ve looked for years with no luck. I’m at 7500’.
Below 6k on these guys. I havent found them any higher, but I know people that find them almost to 10k feet.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance!!
Yeah, I would say give it another week or two at your elevation. Check near riparian areas if there are any around. I find them a lot in willows, wild roses, and near russian olives, and standing and fallen dead cottonwoods.
