But even with that if I got it on my jewels it took a month or more to go away. Got less allergic over time and now I rarely get it. When I do it's just some small patches.

I would get it so bad my eyes would swell shut and I would have trouble breathing due to swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison ivy? Meh, I don't get it. Yep. Teeny tiny varmits are out. I use peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle as an attempt to repel ticks and mosquitos. Either works or been lucky.

Leathernecks Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 It's probably still a week or two away for me. For anyone in Illinois, there is a really good Facebook page that follows the progress of where people are finding them in the state. Could give Indiana people an idea too. https://m.facebook.com/IllinoisMorelMushrooms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Produce shop near me sells them for $36/lb. Since they have to be 3ft tall for me to find enough I usually buy from him a few times a season. Got some soaking for tonight. I remember when me and my grandpa would go we would fill breadsacks full of them. I feel like they aren't as abundant as they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a couple of my personal thoughts are 1) that more people are hunting them. 2) More of the farmers woods are getting logged out. 3) The emerald ash borer has rendered the ash tree nearly extinct in my area. White and black ash trees were great producers of morel mushrooms. And 4) My eyesight ain't as good as it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDB Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hoping to get out this Friday for the first time. Still early here, but what the heck. Actually, just looked at the weekly forecast and it has highs of 44 this week. Maybe next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I have a friend of mine who basically went Jeremiah Johnson but did it here in Indiana. Sold everything and bought a farm/land out near Cloverdale. He's huge in the morel stuff. My question out of curiosity. How much are these bad boys worth? Normal haul of say a kroger plastic grocery bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
