has any one found any in adams county?

I hit several woods today in north Beaver County in western PA. Looked dry and came up empty handed. Blame it on the weather right? :)

Try again tomorrow.

I was out yesterday(4/21/07) in Allegheny County. Warm, soil was moist, and found 10 nicely formed, good size (2.5-3 in.).

Made a nice shrimp and pasta dinner.

I'll be heading out later to check a few more sites.

Also- This is my first time here. Amazing resource. Thanks to all of you who have created and participate in this site.

We went looking 4-21 and 4-22....with no luck. Hoping the rain will help. Was dissapointing...but will look again.Anyone else in Washington County PA looking??

mark and debbie

i found about 15 today 4/24 all nice size only picked 4 letting the other ones get bigger went out last night with my hunting partner and we found about 30-40 all to small we will get them this weekend.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone found any this year in Elk County? I've been looking, but am new at this and haven't found any yet?

I have to belive this year the peak will be between May 5 and May 19th. Every year during turkey season I have found my most morels. It usually starts about the second Saturday of the season. Last year I looked while I was hunting and found a few the first week. But the second week it really started warming up, and my dad and I found 140 the second Sat of the season. And that whole week was ridiculous, we ended up with over 800 that second week. 2005 was about the same way, so for me, turkey seasons second weekend is what I personally go by. And the other thing is, the turkey hunting is good the same time Redbuds are out! Chris

hi, i hope you are right

We are eagerly waiting to do some looking tomorrow evening. We're hearing of others in Washington Co. that have found some already. Hoping to not come home empty handed this time. We've had the rain...now we need the sunshine!!

I live in washington co. also. im about five minutes away from the southpark garbage dump. I went out today and found a couple decent sizers but nothin to special yet. last year me and my buddy found about 560 odd id say... and that was in about three days and we didnt even leave our yard... we own about 78 acres and let me tell you, dead elms all over... in turn, morel maddness. Hope you find the mother load! good luck!

Found some April 30th too small picked today May 1st. Weather not good this year for morels but we are not giving up. Last year good crop. This year not so many. Live on 265 acres lots of dead elm but not much luck.

Last night (thursday 4/26) I checked my best spot and sure enough--21 morels.
They are later than they've been in quite awhile but they are there!

I'll take a couple pictures when I go tonight to harvest them.
Good luck in PA!

My spot is Racoon Township.

has any one found morels in southern pa?

Found 3 nice white ones today April 28 In Fayette county,sw Pa.

I am fairly new to mushroom hunting but I have fun. I am looking for other to farage with.
I live in center city Philly but I drive to parks throughout the SE.

Thanks!

Hey I live in Bucks County, I'm new to this but I have a good set of eyes and a ton of free time. Let me know for the upcoming season.

Spring has been cold, but they are up. Season should last longer than usual due to the weather. They are up all over the National Park region along the river above Shawnee.

Hey I just found this site and am looking foward to my first season seeking these little tasty shrooms. If the fellow is still on this site from Phila. I would be interested in a partner in my seaching (four eyes better than two). I think I might have a few spots that seem like they might produce.
