Hoosierfunguy Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 As near as I can tell, here in northern Newton county, the morel season is just starting, but there are many other fungi that spring up. Among them are these really neat looking urnulas. I only found two immature morels, but the forest floor is laden with these black, saprophytic goblets. These can also be parasitic on oak. And the first morel of the season ? (For me) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 After I posted this, I went to the main page and saw the Urnula... Just an fyi the two morels I found were in Stony Run County park in Lake County, Indiana. They were in a stand of shag bark hickory. Who woulda thunk?

Bruce Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Welcome back! I need to get out hunting. Pheasantbacks should be available soon, too. Is that really a morel in the third picture? If it wasn't so early in the season I'd think it was a lobster mushroom. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi Bruce?? Yes, that was a morel. It certainly had me scratching my head a little, because it was flat to the ground, but when i pinched it off the stem and fruiting body was hollow.
