I am in north east west virgina. I just started this year looking for morels, walked thru all the woods and along the river to no avail.. then last nite my kid comes in and says "is this what youre looking for?" and she has a morel (june 5th) .. and they are growing right next to the driveway in full sun in the lawn!!! not only that, we have been here 2 years and the area they are growing is where all the trucks and bulldozers were driving when they built the house.. it was a farm field before that. nearest trees are 30 feet away and are cedar, box elder and tree of heaven..
anyway, they are not in a good place, will get mowed and walked on.. so I am wondering if I can move them? also trying to decide wether to eat them or try to save the spores? Kathy
