Morels 2024

Hopefully they grow a tad. This warm weekend should help. There's 5 in this pic.

Let us know. I’ve never seen them get bigger.

I'll report, I haven't noticed them to grow either but these are tinky. So far I have found 8, they're so small, wouldn't be enough for a biscuit. Hope more will be up in a day or two. Feeding my kids will take quite a mess.

A buddy of mine had some growing in his yard. They didn't get bigger after a few days so he put Mason jars over them. They grew after that

They get bigger...I documented it in the 2023 Morel thread...they grew for about 2 week to 3 weeks...probably got 4 times their original size before starting to dry and brown.

May grow longer given the right conditions (rain).

The clump of 5 did get bigger. The other picture is of another that grew. Found 67 today. Need a rain

Yah....if the rain stays constant every few days they will grow for weeks.

Elms are the only tree I have success around. So far all have been red elm.

When the yellows are up look around sycamore trees

Find most of mine down here around rotting cherry stumps and logs. At my place in Michigan, under the pines and some by rotting poplers.

I've looked under several thousand sycamore, found few.

i have only had luck under dead ones....you find any around live ones?

No live, only dead. My favorite kind of tree in the spring is a dead elm. First year dead is usually best sometimes the 2nd is best, they'll usually push for at least 3 years.

I had a big American elm in Jackson Co that didn't push until the 5 th year. Gotta check and check and check again .

i look under them till they fall over.....found 9 pounds one time under a first year then not a one since then....but i still look even after it fell over and still not a one...

Found some yellows today, will try again tomorrow. Cataract surgery has certainly helped.
