Welcome to Michigan Morels.

Find out where to find morels. When and how to pick morels. On the Morel Message Board, find mushroom photographs, discuss things like preserving morels, paper, plastic or mesh bags. Mushroom Links and much more! Find out about mushrooms such as the Meadow mushroom, Chanterelle mushrooms, Boletes, Lobster mushrooms, Hen-of-the-woods, Chicken-of-the-woods, Blewits and many more wild mushrooms that are fun to hunt, and good to eat.







You can eat any mushroom that grows... once!

But remember...

There is "No Sure Cure" for mushroom poisoning!  If you have a bad reaction, you will either Live, or Die. Either way you're gonna regret it!

Learn from experienced hunters 1st. If that's not possible, then please buy the Audubon Mushroom Field Guide as a starter book. Especially if you are going to try hunting mushrooms other than morels.

SAFETY IS A MUST for all wild mushrooming or edible plant foraging

 Quite a cold winter. Had snow cover to go with it.  This spring has been cold and very wet with flooding in April.  Supposed to get some warmer (but not hot) temps in the last week of April and into May.  Let's hope so.
04/30/13  Forecast for northern MI area is good. Mid 70's with some rain every 2 or 3 days possible for next week!
05/08/13  Well, nature threw us a curveball again!  May turned hot in a hurry (temps in 80's) and rain didn't come, but wind did.  Dry in north right now  Poor picking so far.  Chance of rain a couple of times on 9th, 12th and 14th with cooler temps in 60's. Possibly this will save the season for black morel hunting.  We'll see..

It's not about how many... it's about how much you enjoy the hunt.

2012 was a bust!  Extremely warm winter, lack of snow, hot March, cold April, dry May, had left many scratching their heads.  Morels were found very early that year, but overall it was a very poor season.
2011 had cooler than normal temps that spring, the morels started about 10 - 15 days late.  But once they got started, they took off like crazy with all the rain! Lot of people had their best year since 2003!
