My brother said he did pretty decent with the Morels this year. They have been spreading.
I did rip out a bunch of stuff from the woods a couple years ago, which was pretty dense and you could not even walk thru it.
I of course left the much larger trees, but cleaned out a lot of the thick stuff.
He said they are in the area's I messed with, but not much further into the woods (Forrest) It can get thick, pretty quick! Maybe just have to open it up a bit more.
