Right on Derrick. I am thinking this wet winter will bring an awesome spring. I can't wait. I am thinking right around Turkey season will be prime. Hopefully it will not get too hot too quick. Look in the hardwood areas that were recently burnt, if you can find them. Good luck all, and remember when you start finding them to post your pics, otherwise you are a fibber. |

Can't help but get excited after the very wet winter, and being 1 1/2 inches ahead of schedule for 2010 allready. I have searched us 75 from Mckinney to the Oklahoma border for the past 2 years without a shrom to show for it. I have scoped out some really promising looking areas over the fall and can't help but think that this is going to be the year that I find the spot. Good luck to everyone! |

KC,
I am also from the Midwest (Il) and was suprised when I found my first one down here. Very few people in Tx have a clue what these wild mushrooms are and I have been told by quite a few people that they are illegal to pick (magic mushrooms). I try to explain that they are edible morels but most don't know what your talking about. They do grow down here but are not a reliable as the spring morels that you would find back home, since they face greater weather extreems. Most of the time it is just too dry for them, but a wet winter will bring them up around the end of March/ first of April down here. They also get them down around Austin in the Fall. It sounds like you have a gold mine in your back yard, so take care and you will probably find more around March/ April as long as it stays somewhat wet. If you need someone to share them with later on this Spring, let me know. |

You're not going to believe this, but my husband just found a morel in my yard in Little Elm (near Denton) today, Dec. 3rd 2009! We just had snow here yesterday, with more to come tomorrow. It is definitely a morel. We just moved here from Indiana where we normally go mushroom hunting in April/May. I've taken pictures, but don't have the cord for downloading to my computer. Has anyone ever heard of morels anywhere in December - let alone Texas? |
| Beth| | Austin, Texas | | December 03, 2009
We have lovely morel stands this fall west of Austin in oak/pine clearings above the limestone ledges, with more after each rain. |

Hi, I am looking for a place that prepare morels. I ate my fill as a child in MO. But now I live here and miss the tastes of home. Any restaurants would be helpful. |

Hey all,
I have heard that there are sometimes flushes of morels found in the fall around the state (have heard about this especially in the Austin area). With all the rain we have been getting and the cooler temperatures, I am wondering if anyone has been finding them recently. I might go out looking this week.
Thanks! |

To Kathy, I just moved to Arizona from Aubrey, we used to find Morels on the farm there quite often, they do grow in Texas. |

Hi,
I'm in Celina TX. Has anyone found morels in this area? Have the recent rains and warmer weather encouraged them to pop up.....I saw the posts about not finding them in folks usual hunting grounds this Spring. I'm new to looking for them but am excited and looking forward to exploring. |

I have found morels at lake whitney in substantial quantities (40# +) though the state park sold that land/foray to private individuals and may be dangerous to hunt with out permission from the new land owners.
The person who said they don't grow in texas can just keep beleiving it...and I'll keep picking them though it's been several years since they've shown due to weather/lack of ample rain. I'm going this saturday May 2nd. I own a specialty produce company here in dallas. I also found 5 only morels in the white rock lake fish hatchery last year about this time and wasn't even looking for them but they were beautiful, bodacious blond morels. Nice lunch that day.
happy hunting

Norm,
Did you find those out on the grass lands? |
| Norm| | Hurst, TX | | April 28, 2009
Go to morels.com and look for First Finds for 2008, Texas 4-12-08. I'm Norm, I was there for all 250 morels in 2008. Our best year, Steve and I found over 40 pounds. This year we didn't find a single spore. Based on report from Arkansas and elsewhere, it looks like maybe we started looking a couple of weeks late.
Look for flowing creeks, streams, and rivers with a heavy mix of oaks and evergreens. In 1994, my twin sister, on vacation from Michigan, pointed out morels growing on the banks of the Paluxy River, at Fossil Rim State Park in Glen Rose. I had been living in Texas since 1978 and had never seen or heard of them in Texas until that day.
I have seen messages posted that morels also grow around lakes with a heavy mix of oaks and evergreens. So I guess trees and a year round source of moisture. |

i have been here four years now i moved from indiana and love to mushroom hunt if anyone could help me on find a spot it would be great i live near decatur texas PLEASE HELP |
| Jerry| | Haslet, Tx | | April 19, 2009
Found some last year near Gainsville and found some this year. IF the weather had been warmer and damp, there would have been a bumper crop. They DO grow in Texas. |

You are insane. Morels dont grow in Texas. Never have, never will. YOu are living on a different planet. You are a nutty nutbar bizare car flipped over a cow worshipping the Tao flowing through the BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW. |
| austin| | | | April 15, 2009
dont listen to whoever said they dont grow in texas iv found them in northeastern texas plenty of times. and they grow like crazy in oklahoma so if your pretty close to oklahoma then your good...."morels dont care about imaginary lines"...wait for a good rain and sum consistantly warm temps "4 or 5 days of warm temps" 70 to 80 degree and they seem to grow well |
| | | | | April 15, 2009
I hate to tell you all this but morels dont grow in Texas. |
| brett| | | | April 10, 2009
Sorry for anyone who got there hopes up for hunting 1000 acres of land. I was never injured in construction and dont have land for anyone to hunt, someone is just pulling a prank. Good luck. Thanks for the friendly messages |
| Brett| | | | April 10, 2009
I have 1000 acres of mature timber to hunt however i cant hunt the mushrooms because of a construction accident which injured my back so I want someone to hunt it and give me a share of the find.When I was able to hunt I pulled many many pounds out of the timber so the first three callers will be allowed to hunt. Honest trustworthy people are a must so if your not dont call.563-554-9123 ask for Brett. |

I read one report, once, of a musicological society in Austin finding morels in the hill country in fall. But this is clearly the exception; spring is the universal morel season. This year in Texas just did not have enough winter rain. Track those state park control burn sites, pray for rain, and try to be patient for @ 10-11 months. Or do what I am doing; start a wild patch in your yard...http://www.fungi.com/kits/outdoor.html |
| Jamie| | Dallast, TX | | April 08, 2009
Drew, I have heard of people finding morels in the fall in east Texas but I really don't believe it. Spring time is when they are really out. Just need lots of rain before the season hits. Look around on some other sites and you can really learn more about when and where to find them. Another good clue is to look at archives of past years and compare the dates and locations. Hope this helps and happy hunting! |
| Drew| | | | April 06, 2009
Alright thanks for the update Jamie. Any hope for a season in the fall or is it mostly springtime? |
| Jamie| | Dallas , TX | | April 04, 2009
Hey Drew, hate to burst the bubble, but things are long gone in this area. I didn't find anything around here this year, just have not had the rain we needed in the earlier months. You really need a good wet Jan. and Feb. Maybe next year. |
| Drew| | Dallas, TX | | April 04, 2009
Hey I was just wondering if anyone has heard of any good locations for Morel hunting around Dallas? White Rock Lake or Lake Whitney any good? Sounds like the season hasn't started yet though. |
| Tony| | Flint (Tyler), TX | | April 02, 2009
Like the last two reporters, I have found zero. zilch. nada. Just too dry this winter? That is my theory. |
| Matt| | Addison, Tx | | April 01, 2009
George, like you I've been out since that time, and not found any in my usual places. I'm beginning to think the season may have past us this year. It was warm early, but too dry. Now its been wet, but not quite as warm. I really don't know, either way I'm stilling planning my trip back up to Kansas where my family is from to enjoy some hunting.
