Just wondering if anybody knows if these grow in our NH woods and what type of area you would find them in.

I think that is a question for Pemi-man. I might see him tonight. I will tell him about your question.

They should but I have yet to find any. Morsesport has found them in his yard a few years back. I did find some in my Vermont hunting spot about three years ago. Every time I'm up there hunting I stop by and check the area out. Nothing so far.
We find them in WV just about every where. Under dead rotten tree logs, briar's, along the creek behind the camp, shady hillsides and even in the sunny spots. Most of our morel looking is in the woods. In our camp, after it rains and the days are hot are the best time to go looking.
Last year was a good year for me when it came to finding morels. I looked and looked at first but couldn't find them. The morning I shot my turkey, I crossed a fence and when I went to pick up my bird there they were. It was easy pick'ins from that point on. When the gobblers would shut down, I'd walk to ridge tops and old logging roads listening for a lonely gobbler to sound off but also looking for morels. If I came acrosss a grassy area on the logging road or an old fence gate! I'd start looking and would find them ;D

There are several species of morels that are found in the northeast...most start appearing in April and can last through June or longer in the mountains. There are good ones to eat, but like most other edible wild mushrooms, there are poisonous ones that do look similar. If you are interested in searching for edibles, I'd suggest buying the Audubon Field guide, so you know what is potentially edible and what lookalikes are associated with it and doing a whole lot of research before throwing anything in your mouth. Without being 100% sure of what it was, I wouldn't eat any mushroom. I've eaten a few wild mushrooms myself and find Chanterelle's to be incredibly good.
As far as where to look...old apple orchards or burned areas, they're also associated with dead elm trees, tulpitrees, ash, oak and beechmaple...but just because you see oaks, it doesn't mean you're going to find any.
Happy Hunting!

The morels are coming up good down South here in Maryland.We've been getting some serious rain the and the temps. have been staying in the 60's at night and 70's during the day. I found a good 8 pounds on Wed. then the boy and I another 12 pounds yesterday. Here's some pics from Wed. On my hunt on Wed. I also found a couple late season sheds.One was a busted off antler the other a sweet fresh 4pt side. Here's the busted off antler. And the 4pt side. And the mixed bag for the day. Yesterday Stacy and I found these minus some I gave my Dad. The 2 day total ready to go.
