    Thought I'd start this thread off since I haven't seen one yet...

    Anyone seen any yet??? It's supposed to cool off a little this weekend and rain quite a bit next week (Indianapolis). My honey holes are down south though if anyone has seen any in Brown or Monroe counties.

    Happy hunting!

    What are the ideal locations for looking? We have about 3 acres of woods with a creek running through them. What should I be on the lookout for?

    I shouldn't see any till early May if all goes well. I am hoping for a bumper crop! Last year was fair at best.

    I saw a pic today that was represented as morels found near Bloomington. They were a bit darker grey and not very large. But if they were actually as represented that's the earliest I've ever seen in 40+ years of hunting them in Indiana.

    Something special about morels in the spring, I'll start looking in the Great Southern Forest in about a week for blacks.

    I've heard of a few being found down past Bloomington as well. I think people will start posting pics of decent hauls within the next 2 weeks.

    I am basically waiting for the first warm day and then I'll start looking... I'm in the central part of the state. By April we will see them.

    We hit some reclaimed strip pits and other spots this morning down around Petersburg. We did not come up with anything. The woods looked to be too early as we saw none of the things we see with morels in this area (such as snails, not sure why, but when we are finding morels in these pits, I see lots of snails).

    I love mushroom hunting but my schedule seems to limit how much I can get out. I'll usually sneak around the woods for a little bit if the turkey hunting is slow, lol
