Since the morel mushroom season has descended upon us, I thought I’d share some of the morel pictures I’ve taken over the past couple of years. This also gives you an idea of how you may find color variations in morels-even ones that grow next to each other. For more on how to identify and hunt morel mushrooms, click here.

Enjoy and good luck with your morel hunting!

IMG_1320My very first morels! I will admit, I’m a little embarrassed by the photo…because you can see I didn’t even know to cut them out of the ground back then – instead I just pulled them out. Oops IMG_4065IMG_2266
