Folks I suggest you get yourself a ground thermometer to get a better idea when your ideal locations have the ideal soil temperatures to give you a better idea of when. 45 degree ground temps I’ve found to start seeing them, explosion at 50.

Gotta take multiple readings because some areas get warmer fast I have patches in the same area on different slopes and elevation that pop at different times because of temps and moisture

110% right on the money! You have to get out in the woods to find em. I clean all mine over a big bowl. I dump the bowl in my woods at home. Been doing this for 15 years. The last four seasons Ive found morels all over my woods where I dumped the spores. Try it. Takes a while but I think it works. Happy hunting!

They never seem to be anywhere predictable where I live, and it's more just this time of year that I know to keep an eye out. I found one yesterday just under the edge of a cardboard box next to my strawberries. It's huge, but was growing under the edge of the box, and it's all folded up. It looks really creepy. Found three growing a few feet away right in the middle of a raspberry plant.

Found my first morels while Trout fishing. Knelt down to zip up my bags after a whole day of fishing and 3 combs hanging off the side of a tree stump hill were just staring at me lol

The recent resurgence of warmth lead me to experiment with deadnettles. If you simmer/poach it for about a half hour that dirty, foul flavor goes away just like dehydrated.

In regards to Slippery Elm, it’s important to remember that not only is iucn assessing the species on a global scale, it hasn’t been assessed since 2018. The majority of the states in the US don’t have a status rank, and a couple (ND,FL,RI) list their status as imperiled or critically imperiled. I don’t oppose foraging within guidelines, I just think it’s important to spread as accurate information as possible while involving our natural resources!

Deadnettle, these things smell like dirt when you touch them, and that would never inspire me to want to eat/drink them. Maybe they change when cooked/dried, etc., but if not, it wouldn't be a taste I. would look for.

The purple dead nettle... yeah, raw it stinks to me, but i took his advice to fully dry the leaves before making tea and it did not have a taste like that smell, nor a grassy taste like it smells drying. I actually just made the tea for the first time tonight and it was pretty good. I added honey. And then i added a couple sprinkles of chinese five spice (anise, cinnamon, clove, fennel, pepper) and it was really good. I'll definitely be making it again.

Woahhh! Slow your roll there partner. He’s not the morel CEO. We mushroom hunters know what we are looking for and the responsibility that comes with it. There’s an old saying that I follow throughout my life; “When in doubt, don’t.” You can’t rely on a channel for your safety. His information is helpful but it’s not like he’s offering a class with a contract. Just do your research.
