what state in the u.s. grows the most morel mushrooms?

Answer 1

Its suggest Michigan.
This is an often-asked question and with the exception of a few geographical areas, the answer is more than likely -yes. However, while it seems the Great Lakes region in the midwest is the hot bed for the morel, the morels are found in most regions of the US with the exception of the desert and deep southern coastal areas. The Great Morel suggests that you contact your area's nature and wildlife department for assistance as an added information source.While there are many places where the morel is not natural to the geography, it also is not uncommon to find them in mulch beds for what The Great Morel refers to as "landscape morels".

The morel is a kind of fungus found in the soil. Most of the time it looks like tiny threads, called mycelia. But when the fungus gets ready to reproduce, it sends up fruiting bodies—better known as mushrooms. Morels occur in all kinds of forests. Good places to find morel mushrooms are near dead elm and cottonwood trees and in old apple orchards.

Morel mushrooms are 2 to 6 inches tall and wrinkled-looking. Their long, pitted caps are hollow inside.

The state mushroom species is the golden-colored Morchella esculenta. Another kind of morel that grows in Minnesota is the black Morchella angusticeps.

Many people consider morels a rare and wonderful taste treat. Mushroom hunters search for morels in late spring—when oak leaves are the size of a mouse’s ears—and take them home to cook. Never eat any mushroom you find outdoors unless an expert tells you it’s OK because some wild mushrooms are so poisonous that they will kill you if you eat them.

The morel became Minnesota’s state mushroom in 1984. At the time, no other state had an official fungus. It was a Minnesota first!
