Michael1954 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 I now live in NC, my son has land where morel are found 45 minutes NE of Indy. What I need is someone knowledgeable in morel to tell me when they are coming up. Then I'll jump in car and drive there. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 The blacks usually come in first and then the grays and then the yellows. It's mostly based on soil temperature and that changes every year. Blacks pop above 45°F Grays closer to the 50° and above and the yellow seem consistent at closer to 60°. I usually probe the soil at a depth of 2"-3" and test in the morning and the evening to get a mean temp. They do pop earlier on southern facing slopes. I hope you find the mother load. I've been hunting morels for almost 20 years and I've never found more than a a couple pounds and never have found that elusive mother load. Hopefully this year will be different lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Morel season here in northern Indiana usually runs between the last week of April to the first or second week of June but in the average, prime time is the first three weeks of May.

Hoosierfunguy Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Here's a link to a website that publishes morel sightings throughout America: https://www.thegreatmorel.com/morel-sightings/ Looks like they're creeping northward 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
