This is a chart of the temperature trends since 2008 for Bloomington, IN. The only real divergence from the norm was in 2012, when the temperatures ran significantly higher than normal for most of the period. This is the reason why morels appeared so early that year. The trend line in orange shows a 10 day moving average for 2013. It appears that the ultimate trend will fall very close to the norm. This chart shows the trends a little more in depth. It was above previous years most of the time, but the temperature took a big upturn in early/mid February, and didn't start to come back to the norm until the end of March.

This infographic was made based on an online survey of mushroom hunters from the Hoosier Mushroom Society. Respondents were asked which trees they most commonly hunt when searching for black morels - Morchella angusticeps.

Hoosier Mushroom Society As per the norm, most scheduled dates should still be considered "soft" and subject to change. It is very tough to schedule mushroom events far in advance. We always have a broad array of events and locations across the state every year, throughout the year. If you would like us to have an event near your town, let us know, and we may be able to schedule one in. The only way we cancel an event is for heavy rain and/or severe weather. Events will continue in light rain. Cancellations will be posted on this page, so please check it the day of the event, to make sure the event is still on. Never been to a foray?

Sunday, 14 June 2015 19:07 If you have been following us over the last year, you are already aware that a mushroom certification courses have been in the works. Residents of Indiana do not currently have a way to comply with the state law requiring all mushrooms that are sold to be "individually inspected by a mushroom identification expert." We have received many complaints from foragers who are not able to sell their wild harvest because they are not able to have them properly certified. We have been working with the Indiana State Department of Health and Purdue Extension in order to get the ability to offer certifications that will be accepted by the state. FAQ What types of courses will be held? There will be two different courses being offered - morels and wild edible mushrooms. The first course was held in the spring and included all the species of morel mushrooms, as well as a food handling component. The second course will cover additional wild mushrooms that can be certified in the state, including: Oysters – Pleurotus ostreatus & P. pulmonarius Chicken of the Woods – Laetiporus sulphureus & L. cincinnatus (with caution) Hen of the Woods – Maitake – Grifola frondosa Chanterelles – Cantharellus lateritius, C. cibarius group (No others) Lion’s Mane – Hericium erinaceus, H. coralloides, H. americanus Black Trumpets – Craterellus spp. Puffballs – Calvatia gigantea, Lycoperdon pyriforme, etc. Note, that in order to become certified for wild mushrooms, you must have taken the morel mushroom course or have a food handler certification. You can take this course without either of these qualifications, but only for educational purposes. You will not be able to receive a formal certification without the prerequisites. Where will these courses be held? There will be one Wild Mushroom Certification course held this year. It will be July 25th, at 11am at the Purdue Extension offices at the State Fairground in Indianapolis. Is registration limited? Yes, each course will be limited to 30 participants. Payment will be required at the time of registration in order to reserve your spot. We will only allow on-site registrations if there are spaces available. We will not offer refunds for this course, but we will offer the opportunity for individuals to adjust the date of the course they attend. How much will these certification courses cost? The Wild Mushroom Certification course will be $125. Why should I get certified? One of the reasons why wild mushrooms are rarely foraged and sold around the state is there is a lack of confidence in the system. Many buyers (restaurants and groceries) do not have the ability to properly assess whether the mushrooms someone is bringing them are actually the variety being offered. A certification program for Indiana will allow a trusted marketplace for mushrooms to develop in Indiana. Becoming certified will also allow you to legally sell wild mushrooms within the state of Indiana, certifying them yourself, without having to take them to another mushroom identification expert. Are there any experience requirements for attending the course? Our courses are designed to allow people from all experience levels to become certified. There are no prior experiential requirements. The course will cover all of the necessary components for any individual to become comfortable with the specific mushrooms the course is for. You must attend the morel certification course before you can become certified for any other mushrooms. The morel course includes a component on food handling that will be required before you can be certified on any of the other species. What should I expect from the course? Each course will cover all of the aspects that are necessary for proper identification for the specific mushrooms the course is about. Each participant will receive a study guide that contains all of the slides, as well as additional information on the topics being presented. There will be a test at the end of the course to test your knowledge on the topic. There will be the opportunity to retest as needed. At the end of the course you will receive a wallet card stating that you are a certified expert and what mushrooms you are certified for. Your name will optionally be put into a publicly accessible database of individuals who are certified to sell wild mushrooms in the state. Who is the certification from? The certification of this course is from the Hoosier Mushroom Society. The Indiana State Department of Health and county health departments will honor this certification as a basis for fulfilling the requirement of mushrooms needing to be certified by a "mushroom identification expert" before they can be sold. Does this course allow me to become an expert on all mushrooms? No. Indiana has probably 2000-3000 different species of mushrooms. You will not be able to take this course and be able to identify every mushroom in the woods. This course has a very specific list of species that it is focused on. These include the best edible mushrooms, with the most characters to allow for an accurate identification. These species represent the list that have been approved for sale in the State of Indiana and that the Hoosier Mushroom Society is willing to certify people for. You will only be certified for the species listed, not all wild mushrooms. How long will the certification be valid for? This certification will be good for 3 years. There will be a discounted course fee for people looking to become recertified after this time period. Are there age restrictions on the course? Yes, individuals must be 16 years or older to attend. I live outside of Indiana. Can I register for this course? Yes, this program is open to individuals from outside of the state. As we are not familiar with all regulations in surrounding states, you need to speak with your state health department to ensure they will honor certifications from outside of your home state. I am not interested in selling mushrooms. Can I attend solely for educational purposes? Yes, and it is very much encouraged. One of the reasons we put this course together is to increase the overall level of education about mushrooms in the State of Indiana. I have additional questions. Who should I contact? Please contact Steve Russell of the Hoosier Mushroom Society by email atsteve@hoosiermushrooms.org or by phone at 765-532-4227 after 5pm. Last Updated on Sunday, 14 June 2015 19:23

Thursday, 28 May 2015 03:22 Greetings all. We do a number of forays each year in conjunction with organized nature surveys across the state. A couple of weeks ago we went out in Johnson County with the Indiana Academy of Science. This weekend (5/30-31/15) we are working with the Indiana Forest alliance for a very important cause. This event is part of the Indiana Forest Alliance Bioblitz. A bioblitz is a survey of all of the living organisms across an area. Very soon, important parts of the BackCountry Area at Morgan-Monroe State Forest will be logged. For the last two years, teams of experts from every field of biology has been conducting surveys of the area to see how it changes before and after logging takes place. We will be heading out at 9am on Saturday (5/30) and Sunday (5/31). We will be meeting at the BackCountry Camping Area parking lot on Low Gap Road in Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Come out at 9am each day to help with Team Fungi! Stay in the afternoon to walk with experts in other fields. Call Steve Russell at 765-532-4227 if you have any questions. There will be several more weekends this year at this same location.

Friday, 15 May 2015 18:04 The Hoosier Mushroom Society is going to be attending the 2015 Hills of Gold Bioblitz being sponsored by the Central Indiana Land Trust. We will be going to orientation at 8:00 AM and then heading out for the rest of the morning. If you are interested in attending, meet us at the Maples Room in Johnson County Park at 8 am. Click this link for a download of the participant guide. Call Stephen Russell at 765-532-4227 if you have any questions. From the event organizers: Attached is the Participant’s Guide for the event. We will all assemble at the Maples Room, Johnson County Park [812-526-6809] at 8 AM on Saturday morning. Directions to the Maples Room are in the guide on page 6 and a map on page 8. At the orientation we will learn the dos and don’ts of this year event. Following the orientation, we will drive to the BioBlitz Headquarter’s parking [HQ Parking on the map on page 4 and Blitz HQ on the map on page 8]. From there we will go to work. Box lunches will be provided on Saturday during the day and a dinner and campfire at the Maples Room at Johnson County Park on Saturday from 6:30 – 8 PM. Please pass the participant guide to anyone who needs it. Last Updated on Friday, 15 May 2015 18:32

Tuesday, 26 February 2013 22:16 Event location changed. Formerly Greene-Sullivan. Now in Bloomington, IN. It is still very early in the season, and I do not have time to scout out locations this week before the hunt. If you are interested in coming, just sign up at the link and you will receive an email with the location at the end of the week. This will be our third morel event of the year. We will be meeting at om Bloomington, IN at 1pm. The actual location where we will be meeting will be announced the week before the event. Plan on hunting for about 2 hours. This should be the height of morel season, so we should be finding quite a bit at this location, at this time of the year. The event itself is free, but we ask those who are not members of the Society to make a donation in order to attend. You can get tickets here: http://stateforestmorels.eventbrite.com With all mushroom hunting events, make sure you dress properly. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable in the spring, but you will need steady shoes, long pants, and a jacket. You will also want to bring a knife to cut off your morels, as well as a mesh bag in order to carry your finds around the woods in. Hope to see you there!

Tuesday, 26 February 2013 21:59 This will be our second morel event of the year. We will be meeting at Martin State Forest Park at 1pm. The actual location where we will be meeting will be announced the week before the event. Plan on hunting for about 2 hours. We were intially thinking of holding this at Spring Mill State Park, but Martin State Forest is nearby and does not have a $5.00 admission fee.

Tuesday, 26 February 2013 21:40 UPDATE: Location information has been sent to those who expressed an interest. If you did not receive the information, and would like to attend, please contact us. This will be our first event of the season on March 30, 2012. We cannot guarantee many morels this early. Morels tend to start fruiting from the south to the north, so that is why we wanted to hold this event fairly far south. I have never hunted around Patoka Lake, so if anyone would like to offer some tips on a good general location to take the group, it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I will scout out the area the week before the event, and post an exact location to meet up then. The area has 25,800 acreas of land and an 8,000 acre lake, so there should be many great locations. We will meet at 1pm, and the main hunt will be for 2 hours. Many people will likely stay and hunt after the official event time, and you are welcome to join. With all mushroom hunting events, make sure you dress properly. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable in the spring, but you will need steady shoes, long pants, and a jacket. You will also want to bring a knife to cut off your morels, as well as a mesh bag in order to carry your finds around the woods in.
