I used to live in Lewiston, Mi also and my hubby worked in the woods. We found tons of morels under ash and poplar trees east of town.....would love to do that again, but alas, I now live in the Netherlands. We used to get so many that we actually sold them by the grocery bag full!!! Dang I miss those schrooms!!!!

@lindy52lou There's still a ton of them around. The Chanterelles were everywhere this year too. The Fall mushrooms are starting out with a Big Bang also. This year is the best in about 10 years for all kinds of Mushrooms. Come visit some time !

@mrearlstubbs Well, Thank You. I'm your neighbor LOL I'm in Lewiston, Michigan. I'm going out today, myself. Everything's real late here. I went out last Sat. and found zilch. The Trout Lilies were the only thing up. And they were just sprouting. It's been in the high 20's to low 30's at night, and in the low 50's during the day. Something has got to change or Morels will pass us by ,here. I have noticed some Leeks in some areas, so I will dig some of them, if they're big enough. Good luck !!

@anoakes92 Thank's The half free's don't fruit every year where I'm at. Don't know why though .

@misty45404 Ya, I agree with you. This was filmed in a very popular place, if you leave them, they're gone !! I've since moved to Lewiston Mi. 160 miles north of where I used to live. Still competition, but I also can hunt private lands, all to myself.

I think the season is running a little late here. i've been doing lots of fishing lately, so i havent been out too much. :)
