TOPIC: Morels

Do morels grow in North Alabama? If so somebody let me know when they start popping up.

jaybird...

I am sure they do grow in northern al...

I live in southern middle TN and they grow here..

Timing wise... here in southern Middle TN... I find them in early to mid April but the exact timing on that will vary depending on how early or late spring is for the current year, and also moisture conditions.

Going by Tree blooms...

When red buds are in full bloom, and dog woods blooms are just starting to open.. that seems to be the sweet spot for me.

When red bud blooms first start, until dogwoods are in full bloom - you need to be looking.

Some morels come up earlier (blacks)... and some come up later (yellows).

Good Luck !

Thank you TN.. I'll watch the redbuds and the dogwoods. Looking for an early spring this year.

Yummy morels can't wait.

I plan a trip to Syracuse, NY in late may. Anybody know if this is morel season near the southern Adirondacks? Thanks

Read the stickie at the top of the mushroom section. Big help. Looks like soil temp is close here in Ohio, according to the USDA site. Today it is 51°F at 2\" in Madison county, and 50° at 8\". This weekend is looking good.

Manley depending on the temps it will b close. I live bout 1.5 hrs (120 miles) North of Syracuse. Last yr I found a couple blacks the last week of may but found some nice blonds mid April

jaybird... Check out morels.com they have an Alabama forum. Always used that board when I would travel and pick morels. Very useful tool to know when to get out looking. Happy Hunting!!

Hunting NY... Orange County. Lots of elm in that area, would be your best stop to pick some morels. Happy Hunting!!

Thanks, I will check it out.
