I made a brief stop in an area I hadn't ever been to today (since moving basically every spot is new this year). I spent about 30 min milling about. I didn't find any morels. However, I did find some elm.
It has me thinking. Elms, of course, are only one factor that plays into morel growth. This area was mixed hardwood and conifer as well as spotty grass and moss. It was a fairly elevated area above a swamp that lead into a lake. Hard woods included various maples, oaks, and cherry primarily. A small handful of elms.
Whats you're thoughts on the number of elm, ash, or other species to finding morels? What do you look for when finding a new location?
As an after thought - I'd be willing to think this spot has potential for chants and others as well.
