They seem to be showing up in odd places this year. I know many people who are picking them in fields out of Johnson grass in some places. Keep at it and you're bound to find a few.ahistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272777202863968238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-67628105058131039152011-05-02T06:07:16.041-05:002011-05-02T06:07:16.041-05:00I've so jealous!

I think it is something they do later in the season when they mature to ensure better sporing.<br /><br />You could leave them on your back deck to do that but then you risk them getting stolen by birds, squirrels and other pests (passerbys). Since the spores also travel by water, one way I know people to spread spores is by using their "morel water." That's the water left over after soaking them to clean. Now I do not recommend soaking them to clean them but that is just my preference. However, if you do use this method then be sure to pour that water by a likely tree and see if anything will come up. I have know a few people who after doing this for several years did see some morels grow in those spots (this is rare but it does happen).ahistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272777202863968238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-54716885047692991312011-04-29T11:21:12.981-05:002011-04-29T11:21:12.981-05:00I was always under the impression from everything ...I was always under the impression from everything I've heard and read the morels had released their spores even prior to me picking them. :) So I should let them sit on back deck to spore my backyard?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315779581516741864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-30688011316221485982011-04-26T14:32:03.837-05:002011-04-26T14:32:03.837-05:00That is an impressive video, one more thing to lea...That is an impressive video, one more thing to learn about a morel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
