Im from Missouri and hunting the elusive Morel mushroom is a big fucking deal around here. Last year these little things were going for $40+ per pound. Does anyone else on the forum get in to hunting morels?
Morels grow in a wet moist environment typically in early spring. Because of the heat factor they usually start popping up in the south first and then gradually move north. I heard of a kid on my facebook finding some around my town in NW Missouri just this morning. Its kind of early in the year I think. Usually we are closer to the end of April. Nonetheless, I will be out walking my ass off this weekend hunting
