Evan Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 They're almost here!! The crocus by our house is blooming and the dafodils have buds. Temps in the high 60s and low 70s this weekend and lows around 40 at night. We might start looking next weekend. Right now I want to scout for some new spots.

Feral Boy Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I guess EVERYONE has the fever ... no one has been here for two days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zora Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 sure they have.....maybe your fever is getting to you??? I know I can't stand it right now. I want to go out hunting so bad right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 We stopped by our black site today to see if anything was starting to grow yet. No bloodroot or mayapples yet. Where we hunt the bloodroot blooming is usually the best indicator that the season is just starting and the small blacks are just poking out.

Feral Boy Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 sure they have.....maybe your fever is getting to you??? I know I can't stand it right now. I want to go out hunting so bad right now. You and me both ... I have to work today! We are having a battery backup serviced, and it's taking longer than it should have. Tech can't find a Tomorrow, for SURE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Evan, your weather seems to be about a week ahead of ours. Our crocus are just now hitting their stride, and daffies aren't showing any petal yet, tho plenty of buds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I just checked the weather and now they are calling for cooler temps in the 40s next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom Jack Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 40's.... I wish it was that warm where I'm at. The next weeks forcast for Lewiston Mi. is a high of 25 and at night in the single didgets, with snow !!! This always happens though, two weeks ago it was almost in the 70's. Last year in May, we were picking Whites in 2 inches of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 2 inches of snow this morning, and another possibly larger amount forecast for Wednesday. But this is not a bad thing. Until the optimum start-up time arrives (mid April around here) it's best if the weather/ground stays cool and damp. Getting the warm-up at just the right time is where it's at!

Heather Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Three to six predicted here for tonight and tomorrow. Frankly I have had enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Boy Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Huh ... usually it's the midwest that gets pounded. Clear here, a bit cooler, but nothing serious. This weekend for SURE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guill the Chagafan Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 You're so lucky... her there still 3 feet of snow... 0F this morning... still nearly 2 month before the first greens shot poke out... so enjoy your mushrooming... and get a little think about us in the North...

Calvert Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 You're so lucky... her there still 3 feet of snow... 0F this morning... still nearly 2 month before the first greens shot poke out... so enjoy your mushrooming... and get a little think about us in the North... Yes, we're got still a couple of feet, but it usually starts melting fast around now. We've already been able to collecti maple syrup a couple of sunny days the last week... Guill, where are you in Quebec? How far north? I'm near Sherbrooke, which is North for most but about as far south you can go in Quebec!

Guill the Chagafan Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Calvert... I'm in abitibi... I live on a land near Rouyn-Noranda... but right now I'm working in Waswanipi... between Quévillon and Chibaugamau... so nearly as far north as I can go by road... but not so bad... I'm still not to James Bay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easternWA Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Bill. I used to live on San Juan. I never did get the hang of finding morels there but I also didn't try that hard. I didn't know it was a good area to find morels. We used to find tons of Shaggy Manes in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 We keep getting rain every few days which should make for a great season. Low temps over the next week or so, though. It's going to be in the 20s at night. That's OK. The season just won't be early this year, more on regular schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, morels are constantly surprising me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I wandered through the woods at work today. It's mostly poplar and wild cherry with some ash, oak and pines mixed in. Some of the poplars are pretty old. I think it will be a nice early spot. The mayapples were just starting to poke through where there is bare soil and the fiddleheads are just below the leaf litter. Here's a smiley from Harmony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I just checked Chris Matherly's site and someone found 35 in MD. Looks like this will be the week to start looking. Temps are going to be much warmer with some rain thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Somebody on Morels.com posted finding five blacks only a few miles from my house. I think we're going out Wed after work to see if we find a few early ones. We're expecting a thunderstorm tonight and it was 78 here today.
