I think they're just about everywhere. I bet Kentucky has them. The last house I lived in before we bought this one they grew right in the yard. The last spring I lived there, I picked over 300 from the yard.....most fairly small.

Me too!!!!! Ontario (Canada) certainly has them. I'm looking forward to fiddlehead season in a few weeks, too.

I learned a trick from a neighbor, wash the morels and throw the water into a specific spot in your yard. The spores will make morels grow there. I personally seen the patch my neighbor had.

Up there in harbor springs/ Petoskey area you can find them the size of a soda can. Usually near white pines. Cut them in half, toss in flour, fry in butter.....🤤🤤🤤

Yum.

My yard that had so many was all white pines/sandy soil.

Every 'shroomer has his own "they always grow in/by XYZ"......to the point that every possible tree, soil, and terrain type is listed.😆😆😆

My theory?........they grow where they grow and you find them where you find them.😉

I gotta say, the 2 places I found them most, is under or near white pines in sandy soil. And near ash trees. I had a 60acre farm in Northern Michigan and we'd find them in those to areas consistently. Throughout the Petoskey and harbor springs area they were always near white pines. That entire part of Michigan is sandy soil.

It's probably close to the time they pop up in Kentucky since we have them. Time to go looking😎 thanks JJ

Yup. I always toss any small bits of stem or anything I cut off cleaning them out with the water I soak em in and generally I'll find a handful of shrooms in that spot the next year or two.

I always get anxious for morels when we get a few nice days strung together. They're mighty tasty!
