    Oklahoma Turkeys and Morels

    I'll be heading up to the Oklahoma next weekend for Turkeys and morel mushrooms. Anyone else heading up there next weekend? The season is just starting for morels so i'm hoping to hit it at the perfect time. For anyone who has leases in Oklahoma I would start looking.

    Haven't seen any morels yet or heard of any being found. Youth weekend is this weekend so we should know more after Sunday.

      I follow a few mushroom forums and they have been finding grey morels for the last 2 weeks. Oklahoma is getting a cold front this weekend so it should be good next weekend.

          I hear the grays are the best ones to eat.

            I was wondering about some of the mushrooms around our place and which ones were edible and which were not. Would either of yall recommend a good book or "field guide" that would be better than the ones I have found on amazon?

              The links below will tell you about almost every edible plant and mushrooms that we have here in Texas. Foraging Texas has a book you can order which comes in handy when your in the field.

              Foraging Texas
              https://www.foragingtexas.com/
              A blog is about the wild edible and medicinal plants of Texas and North America. It is run by chemist herbalist Dr. Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen.

              Texas Mushrooms
              https://books.google.com/books/about/Texas_Mushrooms.html?id=HRtfvVigMmsC
              Mushrooms in Texas? Yes, it's true. One of the best-kept secrets in the Lone Star state is that mushrooms can be found in almost every region. Thousands of species of mushrooms flourish in Texas from the desert and semiarid regions of West Texas to the moist and acid soils of East Texas, where species that can also be found in South America live alongside those that might be spotted in Malaysia and Europe. At last, here is the Texas mushroom book--a colorful, easy-to-follow guide that will surprise and delight uninitiated nature enthusiasts and at the same time provide the experienced mushroom hunter with the first field guide of its kind in Texas. Excellent color photographs and precise descriptions of over 200 species will enable the mushroom hunter--even the amateur--to make quick, careful easy distinctions between the edible varieties and the potentially toxic ones. In addition, kitchen-tested recipes are included along with a microscopic spore chart, glossary, and blbllography. In Texas, mushroom hunting can be a year-round, state-wide activity, and with this enticing introduction, collecting, identifying, and preparing wild mushrooms will become an activity the entire family can enjoy while appreciating the beauty of Texas from a new and fascinating angle.

                  I hear you can find them NW of Austin in the hill country. They grow under juniper trees from what i have read. Look at Foraging Texas website. He mentions morels in Texas

                      I hope I can make it up next weekend. I have a place in SC Oklahoma (Love Co.) I've never found a morel, but looking at some of the forums last year it looks like people find plenty in Love Co, starting in early April.

                      I don't even know which types of areas to look.... Most of my property is creek bottom, floodplain type property with elms, hackberries, etc. while a small portion is higher elevation native oak habitat.... which area is more likely to have morels?

                        If your going next weekend I bet you will find some. Focus on the creek bottoms. They grow around Ash, Oak and Elm. If you know of any area that was burned last year I would look there. Join Oklahoma Morel Facebook page. People are starting to post their finds from different counties.

                          Thanks... I think I should have plenty of good locations for them, and it looks like people are finding a bunch in Love county right now, according to the FB page... my problem is I get distracted chasing turkeys and don't devote any time to searching for morels.

                            Yea it should be a good year for morels. I will be focusing on Turkeys in the morning and looking for morels after the hunt

                              Really? We have a lease in Vanderpool. I will keep an eye out for them when I go next.
