100 morels

I went out to the greenbelt tonight and found over 100 morels. I think these are still Black Morels but they are fairly blond because they live under Cottonwood trees. There were a lot more up since I was there last week. Take a look at the photos. Click on the picture to get a closeup.

Hello this is Kevin. I went out tonight after work looking to see what has come up. I found 3 new little morels in my yard before I headed to the greenbelt. I am taking pictures of the morels in the yard everyday to see how much they grow in a day. On the green belt Jaz our dog and I found as many morels as we did ticks. I am still picking them out of her fur. I must have found 15 on my pant legs. I ended up finding two clusters of morels under two different trees. They are very hard to see. They are very blond and much lighter then the ones in my yard. I didn't pick any in hopes that they will grow in this warm weather. I counted 26 in all. After locating these I went to another spot where there is an interesting mushroom crop. Bob Chehey spent a lot of time researching them and he thinks they are Agaricus bisporus. It seems that we haven't reported them in Idaho before. They have been reported in Ca. and Wa. I have found a huge crop of them. I have collected several and may try them in the morning. I talked about them at the meeting. Take a look at the pictures. The ones I took photos of are overripe. The fresh ones have pinkish gills. Click on the photo for a better image.
