Title: Anyone look for morels?
Post by: catman529 on April 21, 2013, 01:55:55 AM
who all likes the mushrooms. This is my 3rd year morel hunting and I have beat past 2 years records. Today I came home with 444. Total for season is 721. Crazy big load of em today, you know it's a good patch of them when you can't decide which way to walk to pick up the mushrooms you are seeing.

This is in Middle Tennessee, Maury County

over 7 lbs weighed

That looks like a tasty mess of mushrooms. Here in Missouri I think that it has been too cold for them. I might be wrong, but I haven't seen any.

I have looked for them every time Ive went out hunting the past 4-5 yers and I've never came across a single one. I love mushrooms and Ive never eaten one, hopefully I'll find some one day...

half frees have a longer stem and shorter cap. The cap is not attached to the stem all the way down to the bottom, it's detached half way down.
