After checking several area parks, looking for new morel spots, we decided to take a quick trip to one of our known morel-producing spots. We arrived shortly before sunset, and after walking in to our spot, we were surprised to discover another mushroom hunter within 50 yards of our prime location.
Playing it cool, we walked right on past to another (less productive) spot a quarter mile away. We searched there in vain, and returned to our prime spot with only about 30 minutes of daylight left. The intruder was gone, and we quickly found these yellows. John even found one over where the other guy had been looking.
Although it is already May 11, I think we are just starting to hit the peak of the morel season here in central Minnesota.
