I gave a pound of morels to a guy in a bar and he bought me a drink. But all of a sudden he got up and left. Now I know why. He stole em!

Damn thief!!I will buy you a bunch of drinks for a pound of morels!

I gave 14 to a shooting friend and 6 to another shooter. Can not bring myself to eat them--at least they did not go to waste. They grow under the pines at the edge of my yard and have always see them after they start to rot- but caught them in time this year.  Roy

Still have not found any here!

Where is a good place to look for them?Would like to find some but don,t know where to start.

I usually look around old dead trees and old apple trees are a good spot.  I have seen them just pop up in paths and spots in the woods without much rim or reason, but I think there are probably some things others can share to help.  I have found large patches in the past, but none for a long time like that so I figure I am not in the hot spots.

What weather conditions are best for searching?  Temps day and night? Time after a rain?

What sun exposure amount?  Hill side orientations, low lands, partial sun?

I have wondered how often to look and if I should let them grow a few days when I find them for them to get larger.  I have heard they can grow over night and only get just so big depended on the mushroom, but I am not sure.  They can pop up over night and dry up fast if it is dry and hot. I just pick them when I find them, but could wait a day or so if they will get larger.

found a small pretty dried up patch today.

I havnt found a lot of em this year, but I did stumble onto a patch of large yellows last week while chasing some turkey, unfortunately they were gettin pretty dry. This one was the largest in the patch...

Wow that is a trophy. I have not had any real dry ones, but can't you soak the drier ones in water for a day and hydrate them?

Yes, soaking them in some salt water seems to bring them back to life, as well as drive out the bugs living in the pores.

They can also fall apart and become a mess but the all taste the same.
