Getting bigger.

I finally got a little mess. Had an extra 15 minutes after gassing up Sunday AM, went a couple blocks and parked in a new trail biker lot, walked ~100ft to a tree I'd found 'em on years ago when it was 'country'. Bingo! Stepped in a mudhole up to the top of my boot on the way back, went to an Easter get together with muddy britches. Checked 3 other spots after lunch, nada. Just enough for a mess for me. Thank you Lord!

I'm guessing 5-7 days old, shoulda gone when I first felt it. Once again, we get the cold spell at the wrong time.

 

 

            Well, Done!   We found more, ate more today and will have some for with breakfast in the morning.

Had a chance to look a bit this morning, found these stragglers. Would have liked to have found that big one a week ago. After trimming the questionable spots there's still a good mess for me. Weird year, the woods are just now "right" according to the flora, but the morels came in with the redbuds a couple weeks early here. I think ours are done.

Nice! That one was a monster!

Yeah, when it gets down to the stragglers, they can be lunkers. Spotted that one a good 40' away, it was glowing like a Vegas bordello.

Many moons ago a buddy and I were late-season road hunting and when he said "Whoa!" I stopped and backed up and saw just the top of a monster poking above the weeds about 30' off the road. The part we could see was big as a ball cap. It was more than a week past prime, with a couple caved-in spots, but it was simply huge. I put an empty beverage can most of the way up the stem. There was enough good parts left in that one 'shroom to feed three with leftovers.

                  It was several years ago when I found a true giant. All you needed with a meal was one and could have taken place of the meat component.
