Default Spring Mushroom thread!!!!

Rain last week really set the stage for a good Morel Mushroom season, at least in the Edmonton area. Still a bit dry up north, but lets hope that changes.

In the burn areas west of Edmonton we should see the fire morels showing up. We definitely had enough fires in the Lodgepole Edson area last year.


Post the results of your forays! Usually, May Long weekend is the kick off to the season.

I know a guy who found some morels right next to an Oilers hat some fan threw away in disgust...

There's as many mushrooms there as Boesser scored in the first period looks like.

Nothing in the usual spots in the Valleyview area. No morels, nor verpas.
And even some drizzle rain early this am.

Maybe in a day or 2, will see.

I have seen a dozen posts on a FB page - people are picking the morels like crazy! West and North of Edmonton.
On a same note- I was trying to find a link to the fire burn map that somebody posted last year. Wanna go next week and hit the last year burns…

Scored some good morels over the past few days.
Nice size too, makes the 4 Lt ice cream pail look like a cup.

Picked about 6lbs of morels so far over a couple short trips. Might go one more time and call it good for the year on morels

I just came back from the Hinton area. I got about 4 gallons, the best picking I’ve ever had although I know others do much better. It was a fun trip!
