Now! We are actually a little late, but I think I'm as confused as the morels this year with the weather and all. At least I hope I am.

"Hunting the Mighty Morel Mushroom

The "mushroom walk" is a low, Groucho Marx-like walk that gets the mushroom hunter closer to the ground. Crouch down and look 10 to 20 feet ahead — not around your feet and look for the (tiny) Christmas-tree shapes in the distance. Keep moving and investigate the shapes. You'll cover more ground and find more morels.
It's a fallacy that pulling a mushroom out by its roots will prevent another from growing there next year. The "root" system that brings the mushroom to the surface is a one-time, one-way system. It deteriorates through winter and spring thaw, and is replaced each year. Cut or clip the morels at the base to keep them clean.
Mushroom hunters never tell where their favorite spots are. Don't bother asking."
