Hillbilly, that's one Honkin' Morel you got there!
Here in N.Y. thier hard to find, it took me 5 years of searching before I found my first one.
I have one spot that grows 2-8 morels each year and every now and then I find a few in different places.
The Chanterells are much easier to find throught the summer.
Phil I'm sure that morels grow in Pa., but it's probably like N.Y. and thier few and far between.
Here's a pic from last turkey season.
Morels and Ramps!
Fry em' in butter or bacon grease with a backstrap!
Best meal I ever ate!!!

DustinDees:
another that tastes similar to morels and grow all over the greater northwest (dont know about everywhere else) are calves brain mushrooms. they get HUGE. mom and step dad get morels maybe 3-4 inches and calf brains 10+ inches long and 4-9 inches wide. almost as good as a morel almost. best of luck.

*edit* i looked up calf brains mushrooms, not what i was thinking. going to have to find a pic of what they pick.

Hillbilly:
It snowed here the last two nights with temps in the 20's. May hold the shrooms back another week. Buffalogobbler, I like me some ramps-I have a patch of 'em near the house that are starting to come up now. A town near here has a big ramp festival every spring.

FlintWalker:
I don't know about that Steve. It rained and snowed here all weekend and Monday and Tuesday this week with nightime lows down in the high 20's to low 30's.  I found 55 Sunday, 130 yesterday and 85 today.  All while I was supposedly turkey hunting. :-\  The turkeys wouldn't cooperate. So I just went to picking up "dry land fish" ;D
  Seems to be a pretty good crop this year around here despite the cold weather.  I actually think hot weather shuts them down quicker than does the cold.

FlintWalker:
These are all I kept from what I found today. I gave the landowner the rest.  My wife won't touch 'em. So this is a good mess for me.
