Morchella

Here is the most up-to-date treatment of genus Morchella-and a great key.  Turns out we have 5 species here, and all our Black Morels are Angusticeps!  Those of you who remember the discussion about that name a few years ago might be surprised, I was.

I had meant to forward this to you all last week, but it took me until my day off to do it--
The brown mushrooms he has pictured and wonders about are often found with Morels, they are Entoloma vernum

Becky,

 

You're certainly welcome to pass my report along, it helps to know where and when folks are finding these.  I think you guys are likely to have a great hunt tomorrow, unfortunately I'll be down in Marion which may or may not be seeing morels just yet, though we're going to do some looking anyway.  The brown shrooms pictured below were associated with the morels I found, I have not opened my book to identify them yet but I found it interesting that they were growing in the very same area.

These are so awesome, we have high hopes for tomorrow's hunt in Catawba--can I forward your message and picture to the group?  I think they are enjoying these reports coming in.

Hi Becky,

 

I found these yesterday on the border of Henry and Pittsylvania counties, on private property near Turkeycock Wildlife Management Area.  They were very fresh- no bugs or anything.  North-facing well-drained slope beneath 25-30 year-old poplar.  Most were found at about 1,000 ft. in elevation, with a few further down slope in a drainage.  Spent about an hour hunting them before I had to get back to work.

Found these yesterday (April 30) in the Pilot area of Montgomery County, in a drainage adjacent to old apple trees where I have found them in years past.

 

Happy hunting y'all.
