Morel Mushroom

[Davey Crockett]

My tick to morel ratio is 100-0 but Iv'e only been looking for 8 years or so,
Iv'e learned theres no such thing as beginners luck in mushroom hunting.

pffft… those are rookie numbers

do better

Yes Sensei......In my defense I wasn't balls deep in any sort of brush or grass, didn't expect that where I half-heartedly looked for easy morels I'd get 4 ticks in 45 minutes. I felt them all crawling on my neck too - damn I hate those things.

I'd always wondered why I never seen any morel's when I was out fixing fence but I bet most years I'm way to late. Last year though I found few when I was fencing. Kind of a werid spot just a few poplar trees out in the open, they were growing in the grass, maybe a dead branch or two in the ground. I thought they were false ones so I didn't take them home. The reason I thought they were false is because they were hollow in the stem and cap. Turns out they were the real deal. I'll certainly be watching that spot from now on. That was on the edge of Sandhills, so they must grow just about anywhere.

Planted a few trees last night, and before I was done I had two ticks crawling up my neck. There wasn't even tall grass yet. Sometimes I think they can jump or fly.

any experts that can help with ID of this guy. I found about 1/2 dozen of these, they are 4-6 inches+ across. I think they are Hawk Wings but not positive. thanks

I think you are correct, but am an amateur so....

Interwebs says there are few if any look-alikes, so most shroomers would eat them.

Then again, if you ever got poisoned, or witnessed it, you probably wouldn't. It's not cool.

That thing sort of creeps me out.
