I was curious as to how fast they grow. Do they actually "pop"? Should you wait a few days until they grow larger/ Any help apreciated.


A note from The Great Morel:

Detailed answers to Jason's question can be found on The Great Morel. You can check out the answer to the above on the FAQ page, along with various other questions regarding growth and growing.

If your area you are hunting is not over hunted such as public land, then I would leave the smaller ones for about 4 to 5 days and then come back and harvest them. Generally they will reach there mature size in 4 to 5 days but most important to how fast they grow is the weather, if you get a couple of descent rains in those 4 to 5 days and daytime temps in the 70's and night temps in the upper 40's or higher they would grow a little faster and vise versa.

thanks, i just read a lot on the issue on this site.
