    I've been checking my usual spots. No luck yet! But here is a teaser from a pick a few years ago

    There won't be anything in Central Indiana this early. Conditions haven't been right and not long-enough. This rain is going to help. Central Indiana could see darks by early next week.

    Wether I find one or 20 they seem to end up in the frying pan! They freeze fine. Wash well. I prefer to soak them for a few hours. You will be amazed at what floats up! Pat dry and freeze in a zip lock bag. Fresh is better but having them in the middle of winter rocks!

    A good way I've found to freeze them is to go ahead and flour them like your about to drop them in to fry but instead lay them on waxed paper and put them in the freezer. Give them a few hours to freeze then transfer to a heavy freezer bag. When it's deep into the winter pull them out, fry them up and enjoy.

    Ohh...and first you got to find enough extra to freeze.

    I'll start by saying that I grew up in the woods hunting and fishing and doing all that stuff. I never heard of morels until I moved Indiana. Being a mushroom fan I would like to try and find some of these myself to try. I've got a few places that I can hunt for them, but was wondering if there are certain signs you look for. For example, do they only grow near certain trees or plants? Do they grow out in the open? Is it best if the area is swampy or on high ground? At the edge of the field or deep into the woods? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Not asking to share your hunting spot, just some of your hunting secrets.

    Two years ago I found 25 that were over 6in tall in my neighbors yard along the fence row. Morel of the story is they can grow anywhere they want. You just never know where you'll find them hiding. But if you find one there is normally another one and maybe another one.....
