I found almost 50 morels just in my yard today. This is pretty early for these parts.
So I went on a walk to look in my hot spots.
I saw these shooms. What are they? Edible?
The morels were the black ones and they were pretty small. A lot of them were borderline as to whether I wanted to pick them. There were a couple dozen more that were too small or just popping. It's literally 5 feet from my deck so I'll be keeping a close eye for more.Kind of brain mushroomy. Idk, but I wouldn’t eat it.
50 morels though! Score!
Around here the black shrooms usually precede the blondes by about two weeks. Based on my scouting forays I think our black mushrooms are about two weeks out or so. However we're supposed to get a warm up and some rain the next few days, maybe it'll get them started.The morels were the black ones and they were pretty small.

I usually don't get serious about finding morels around here for at least 2 more weeks but this early find has me chomping at the bit.
All my good spots produce blond morels. Not a one in those spots...yet!
Interestingly I just snapped a picture of what I think is the same mushroom today. I plan on asking some more experienced mushroom hunting friends what it is, I'll let you know what they say.I found almost 50 morels just in my yard today. This is pretty early for these parts.

What's the name of the app?There is an app you can download that you can take a picture of any mushroom and it will tell you what they are. Kinda like the tree identification app! Morels are wonderful though, enjoy!
