Most of my blacks have been by dead wood, just as in the above photo. Occasionally I have found them near stony area, in the soil around the fringes of the stones. That being said, I usually find my blacks when they are near their end , as I don't feel they are as common down here as the half-free and yellow/grays.

That's a great pic mike! Did you take it? How do you explain this? With the lack of underground mycelium how is this even possible? I'm curious whether these morels were attatched to the ground beneath the branch. If not, it would seem as if these shrooms are defying science and nature! Brings new meaning to they grow where they grow! [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Hello everyone, I went out today out on a huntch in Kingsley MI in GT County and stumbled on about 10 black morels some of them were about an inch and the others mere micros so i picked about three of them so people would believe me that i found some and left the others to grow and release more spores to produce more morels.... I was very surprised that that are early this year due to the seasonably warm temps that we have received here in MI for the month of March... Going out again later this weekend...

Brings new meaning to they grow where they grow! Yes I took that picture back in 2008. The morels were no way attached to the ground. They were growing and very much attached to the stick. I believe that to be a branch off the ash tree it was laying next to. I am not a mycologist so I am not even going to try to explain how this took place. There were a cluster of about 12 blacks growing all around these two.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

That's awesome. I might have been tempted to take the entire branch and transplant it under a host tree close to home. You never know what might happen! Great find. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

I'll try either that the morels simply did their job as saprophytes, or less likely, there was some sort of myccorhiza going on in branch before it broke off. friends of mine tell me about the odd places they've found them, one was a little grey/white on a broken down apple branch.
Anyone know what the soil temps in pellston are?

They produce good-sized pale greys and yellows. I've always used the blooming plums as markers but never considered there might be a biological connection. Thanks, Shroonman!
