Hunting, and found these to day, Did not hear any gobbles, pretty nice morning too.

Patience is a virtue, both in hunting Morels and waiting for your thread to open.

Those are dark looking Morels.

Yes , George some time I have it and sometimes Not. Yes, RC. They are black ones an are the first ones here before the Yellow Morels.

Shortly here in WI. Waiting for the Lilac's to start blooming.

We call those 'black mushrooms', they come first and usually around tulip poplar, sometimes ash and elm too.

Here in the eastern Alleghenies they take a bit longer. Usually we are finding the lighter ones the first week of May. If it stays warm though, the dark ones should be popping pretty quickly here.

Black morels ( Morchella elata ). Yummy.

I picked many of those in my early years, with and for my great-grandmother. All I ever knew them by was "woodfish" - is that a common nickname, or just from our area?

Rough Run must be an old nickname of your-that area. My grandma got me started in hunting for mushrooms too.

Nice, need to call a freind and go hunting! Congrats!!!

Stix, ST. Mary’s and Straub a good place, Area.

I looked for some today while cutting wood....no luck, but your picture gives me hope!

Rough Run....that's what my grandparents called them too. They were from the mountains of southwest Virginia. Whatever you call them they eat good.

Thanks, guys - southern West Virginia born and raised, so it must be a regional nickname!

You had a better day then me. I heard no gobbles, and found no morels. Enjoy....
