Freinds,
I have never taken the time to learn about mushroom hunting...
I plan on making a point of it this spring. That being said I am looking for suggestions or reference material (First hand experience, or books...)
Any ideas???

I have had good luck finding the black morels anywhere the earth was disturbed but later reclaimed. Old home sites in the woods, old roadbeds, etc. That said, the suckers can be anywhere. In my experience, the black morels patches tend to produce year after year.
Yellow morels, often called yellow sponge, tend to be less predictable and more spread out.
There is a tip about finding them near dead elm trees that seems to be true.
I haven't been yet to my old patches in Decatur county, but with this sun the blacks should be up.

I don't find them, they find me.

There is no real science to mushroom hunting. One year a certain spot mjght be loaded, and the next year, maybe not. Just get out, enjoy spring and keep your eyes to the ground. Two places that have produced for me more often than not is around rotting wood, and under Mayapples. Good luck and have fun!
P.S.- Make sure you stay alert, I've seen a hunter gored by a rogue mushroom. Like Rourke said "Use enough gun"!
