Sighting in

Just need them to pop a little further north! Yum!

nothing in the wood as of last night, they maybe out on the sand shoreline of the river though.

Cannot wait!! I think here in the metro we are still a good two weeks away.

But boy if we got some warm weather after all this rain. yeow, I’d love a batch of them all fried up.

“there here”! My buddy picked up over twenty pounds yesterday. Nothing in the hills yet, just the river bottom.

Thier getting them here now too, Both grays and yellows and from what I’ve heard thiers some size to them too.

Lots of moisture in the ground should make for a great season, I will be hitting it next Tuesday or Wednesday!

Found 147 greys last night and I’m about 40 miles south of the MN border.

I took a walk this morning looking for some mushrooms with no luck. Must be a little early yet up here.

Jut heard from my neighbor that a guy he works with found some and thier as big as a pop can, thier on thier way lenny.

hmmm they say spring moves north at 12 miles per day… so lets see.. 40 miles so of Mn border… I must be bout 200 miles no of that.. 17 days…. that puts it at may 23 here.. my birthday….. happy birthday to me… happy birthday to me….

I took a walk after work and came up with a “bakers dozen” greys. They were under an elm with a good southern exposure. I’m about 40 miles north of LaCrosse.

Jim if the grey’s are out in our area that would put the yellows out this next week, I am guessing with the cold spring that the season will be a little longer and slower to come up, good info Thank You ….

was out today with a buddy getting some for the fishing opener on Mille Lacs, ended up with about 40 pounds, man! they were everywhere

We were out last night, and surely didn’t find anything like that.

I had walleye and morels last night for supper.

Literally stumbled upon a whole patch that filled a grocery sack last night while shore fishing (in SE MN)…..never have looked or found any before, so I thought it was pretty cool!!!

I’ve never had them before…..but I’m not much of a mushroom fan…..where do you sell them? and how much do you think I could get for a full grocery bag

try some local restuarant, go in the back-way into the kitchen and ask the chef if he’d like to buy any, can’t be a McDonalds or something of that sort, but your higher end places. $25 now, dehydrate them and you can get $20 per pack.

SELL THEM…SACRILEGE!! ……have you lost your mind!!!

Eat’em!!

Thier getting $35 a pound down here and theres alot of them this year.

they are still coming down here. it is one of the best years ever. undoubtedly due to all the rain.
found these yesterday. fresh and old yellows and some nice fresh greys on a north, shaded slope.

15 bucks a pound where I sell. And that’s expensive for up here. A grocery bag full is probably around 6 lbs if you ask me. Maybe a little more. So far this year i’ve been finding a lot of little guys. I just sold 3.1` lbs yesterday.

found a small mixture of yellows and grays yesterday about 30 miles north of Madison. The area had been picked ove r and found more stems than anything…Nonetheless, I will be enjoying them with some bacon wrapped venison tenderloin this evening. Still early yet!!!

We looked for over 3 hours today. We’re either searching the wrong areas(may still be too cold) or we’re picking behind someone. For 3 hrs, we found 9. Not 9lbs either. I’m hoping it’s the weather.

Cade, who do you sell to and where? Just wondering because I have never heard of people selling there shrooms!

There’s 2 or 3 places that buy in our area(La Crosse). Wiebke Fur is one and there’s another place in La Crescent that buys them.

I went out last evening and found only two mushrooms. Went out to the same area today and found a bag full.
The sun forecast for tomorrow should get them popping.

So what type of area do you guys look for mushrooms at?

Sothern exposed hillsides with half dead elm or elm with its bark laying all over the floor of the forest will be a good start. Morels like lots of moisture and warmth, three or four 70 degree days and we would be golden. Look very closely around elms, above and below the tree- all around. I have stepped on them before finding them. Sometimes it pays to get on your knees and slowly scan the whole area around at grounf level. Its fun!
