Post subject: returning to a spot  Posted: May 2nd, 2012, 9:07 pm |
I found about a dozen blacks along a wooded bank under some cottonwood trees about 2 weeks ago. As this is my first year hunting morels, this is the only spot I have found- and I've looked quite a bit -where I've found more than 1 morel. I was wondering if it's worth returning to this place now that a few weeks have past. I guess what I'm asking is can one harvest a spot, return a few weeks later and then find more?

Always recheck spots where you find morels, especially when rain/temp conditions are good, when conditions are good I check my spots every few days.
Just remember...... you can eat any mushroom ONCE

Gotcha. Thanks for the input. Found about a pound under ash and apple today (upstate ny), so I guess I've got 2 spots now!

returned to my "blacks" spot today and there were a bunch of yellows! Anyone else find both varieties in the same spot?

That's awesome! Most of the woods that I hunt seem to produce only one or the other (mostly whites). What I have seen happen is one year the area will produce false morels and then the next year they be true morels but never blacks & whites in the same area in the same year.

NOPE! Never check it again!  Why waste your time? In fact, if you tell me exactly where that tree is, I WILL PERSONALLY GO there and make sure nobody else wastes their time either  It's the least I can do to help!  I don't mind! Really!!!

Man, this spot I've been visiting-the one with blacks and yellows- must be magical indeed. Went there the other day and found fresh oyster mushrooms and Dryad's saddle in addition to more yellows. Not to mention a variety of LBMs, Coprinus sp., and a few fresh shelf polypores.
