Morrels?

[Phil Lilley]

I've heard they're starting to show up. Better start looking and let us know if you see any.

this earlY? I havn't been out to look yet but I wouldn't figure them being out for another little bit

[Phil Lilley]

Was told something I hadn't heard before. When the daytime and night time temps add up to 90, plus a good soaking rain, it's time for morels. Seems little low to me but this person said they found some already.

They are small, but I have found some already

heres is the real deal, nite time lows added to day time high divided by two equals mid 50"s start looking forget about the size of oak leaves as big as a squirrels ear and all that other stuff when nite time lows and day time highs average mid 50's morels start coming up Where did this person find his morels ? I hear they are finding them in Flordia. a good web site is

i know a number of folks that have started looking and come up empty. Supposed to hit 32 here tonight, dont think that helps anything. Here's a morel site's map where reported findings are shown, I'd say its a tad early still. We normally start finding them about the 2nd week of April out near Hermann.

Phil,

Next summer try the long grass by the aiport in king salmon or along the landing road past pike lake. They're some of the biggest whites i've ever seen and theygo off in early june there.

[Phil Lilley]

Great!! We found them down by the camp along the road in mid June last summer... kinda by accident. But they were tasty regardless. I won't be up there till late June but will tell the Johnsons.

When I was in London (2001 - 2002), some of the outdoor produce markets there had fresh morrels for sale. This is the only time I have ever seen them for sale. They cost $26 per pound. I confess. I bought some.

If anyone in the Cassville, Holiday Island, Shell Knob area wanted to teach me how to hunt for them, I would promise to stay away from their locations, and I would show them what a trained Cordon Bleu chef can do with them.

I have annual areas on my property for them. Checked recently and they are to small to pick.
