Sitting here thinking that it's only a few weeks away until spring type weather will show up here in Michigan.
Oh yeah, stump shootin' while hunting morel mushrooms, oh and the occasional asparagus too.
Well it's actually more like ten weeks for the schrooms and asparagus. ( Insert big sigh here )
But it's coming. Just be patient. :jumper: :jumper: :jumper: :jumper:

I’m w ya,looking fwd myself to the morels

I have never seen a morel in the woods, ( or at least not that I recognized). Are they found in Middle Georgia? What kind of conditions do they grow in? I like 'shrooms, so maybe I need to branch out a bit.

They can be hard to see and they only grow for a short time. I don’t know Georgia but you should find out when they grow than earn types of trees they associate with. Up here Elm, Apple, Ash, Etc. Last year I was finding a bunch near maples too. Things vary a little year to year but see if they grow locally than research when. Be sure to learn identification. Morels are hollow. If you eat them be sure to cook. Raw morels carry toxins heat destroys

Hey Sam, there’s a forum morels.com, they have a Georgia section so they def grow there. I’d bet that could help you some. NO ONE is gonna give you spots so look for areas. I forgot tulip trees in my earlier post and that might be a more common tree to find em near. You also need to know tree stages. Some are living, some like elm best dead or dying.
Another real good way to figure it out is done of the learn your land you tube videos. The fellow doing them is in PA but I’d bet you’d pick up some things. Do some Georgia morel research. I hope I helped ya

Here's an interesting site that has maps of where the mushrooms are being found and when.
I like to see them working there way North.
