[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2727377, member: 34489"] I don't have 45 years but I can share a few observations. Usually, I look near living trees such as, cedars, as VIreen ash, and cottonwoods, as VIKING and Okie4570 said. I once saw what looked to be a morel growing straight out of the root of a green ash tree. I have heard and read that these mushrooms live within the roots of the above mentioned trees. I believe that this is why they are not easily cultivated. If you didn't know, the part that we like to eat is actually the reproductive part (YUMMM right?) of this mushroom. Therefore you should always place them in a mesh bag after harvesting, so that the spores can be spread as you are wandering the woods. I personally do not know how effective this is, but sure does sound like a good idea. They belong to the Ascomycetes otherwise known as "cup fungi". Under current classifications, Penicillin is also a member of the Ascomycota. one more fun fact, the "mold" growing on citrus fruit is often times a close relative to penicillin. one more tip, always pinch or cut the mushroom off, try not to rip them out of the ground. this could harm the underground "body" of the mushroom which may result in fewer mushies in the future [/QUOTE]
