John Smalldridge Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice photos. What type of tree/wood were they growing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacomo Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nice photos. What type of tree/wood were they growing on? Thanks John, I'm not 100% sure on the kind of tree, but it was in kind of a swampy area and I think it was a dead and rotting Willow tree.

dualsetters Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have a morel spot under some dead willows !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I often find morels under live willows out west, but they are normally willows with multiple trunks, like large bushes. Some of the trunks are usually dead; so I guess that is the reason morels appear. However, I don't think that morels like swampy conditions. Willows don't seem to host oysters around here; they're usually on alders and, more rarely, on cottonwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualsetters Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 The willows im talking about are huge and possibly partially still alive. Last year it washed out and there were only two morels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rum Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 It was an awesome year for oysters for my. Actually my first season harvesting them. I had made some 'pretty sure' ID's on some the year before. Just did the homework, spore prints etc. this year and lucked out that there was an abundance to gather.
