Last year we were traveling though the Rolland chain and come upon a burned out area arould the camp on Middle Rolland. This was late May. There were more Morals than I have ever seen in one place. I bet that there were thousands. They were all within the burned area. What a treat. Has anyone had this experence on other areas?

So you are saying it was a Moral Majority in that location?  Sorry, just couldn't resist!

I have never seen a morel at all in the wild but then I've never looked either.  I prefer to leave them for someone who might enjoy them.

Is that as opposed to the immoral mushroom? Morels are fun to find...

Morel's are great.  It's been difficult to hunt for them this year due to the variable weather conditions here in central Iowa.

I love the things minus the occasional piece of sand that doesn't get washed out.

I found some on  a portage on the Man Chain years ago. 

We call them honeycombs here.  They bring a high $ selling them.  Three or four years ago I was getting up close to $60 a gallon for them.
For us we tend to find them on a hill sides facing southeast near big elm trees.  We take them string a thread thru them, hang upside down in a dark closet and have them to eat all year long, providing we can keep from eating them that long.

The first thing to come up after a forest fire.  We had them so thick one year you could pick up a gallon in 15 minutes.

Morel mushroom season is when the lilacs are in bloom.
