Morels are popping up in my neck of the woods. If you’re in the southeast US, now may be a great time to go look around your hardwood forests. They grow in association with various trees including elm, ash, poplar, cherry, privet, and many more. They’re delicious and they’re also very challenging to see on the forest floor, which makes hunting them fun. If you don’t find any, there are still many cool and beautiful things to appreciate in the early spring woods..
