What do you call those? We always called them woods mushrooms. They come in greyās and yellow but never get very big. I had a woods use to produce them by the thousands but not so much anymore. If those are up the greyās will be popping on the elms soon, probably are on the south facing hillsides. Iām in central illinois also, better get my ass out

Agreed, they are definitely a morel. We have a early small morel that they never get over a couple inches tall, everyone on this side of the state calls them woodsā¦they are a short morel that are pretty firmā¦for lack of better words, can be all different shades. The heads on them are a little different then the blacks or the greyās and yellows we find later. I literally had a woods you could always find them by the hundreds once they really start coming on. Nice find by the way, definitely time to go

We are going out tonight to check a few spots. Iām close to Lake Erie so I may have a week before we see them. We were down in NC last weekend near Asheville and got skunked in the National Forest.
Apparently Boyne City Michigan has a Morel Festival every year. Anyone ever been? We are planning a trip up there in May. We will see.

Great thread peeps! Was wondering if anyone has blended up a morel and tried to propagate in their own landscapes? Seems to me like Iāv seen people try this in videos Iāv seen.
