From what I’m hearing from the field – other hunters, bloggers, and from the various forums that I follow – it looks like the morels are just now starting to pop. Within a few days we could be up to our eyeballs in them, which is exactly what I’m planning on…

As soon as I start seeing solid production in my usual hotspots I’ll start updating you all as to this years crop – this could be a great year for morels, if the weather is any indication its going to be very promising out there.

I’ll be sure to post what preparation method and recipe I’ve gone with once I bring home the first take of the year. More to come soon – best of luck in your hunting!

A number of morel forums across the Internet are showing similar signs: the morels are coming, and it’s just a matter of time before we’re right in the heat of peak morel season.

So far our personal hunts and the “word on the street” from our fellow expert morel hunters have not shown significant yields – the morels are still very immature in many places, and conditions are not yet “perfect” for a massive haul. But it’s only a matter of time, and by matter of time it could just be a couple of weeks before there is an absolute morel explosion all across the state!

If this is your first year hunting morels, if you still haven’t quite mastered the art of the morel hunt, it might be the right time to consider honing your skills with the help of the Morel Mushroom Book. It doesn’t matter how many morels are out there and how huge and numerous they coming in – if you don’t know where to look and if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, you’re unlikely to find a single one this season.

It never ceases to amaze us how we’ll readily share the exact locations of our most prolific hunting spots and even after they have been supposedly been “picked clean” we’ll be able to come through after the fact and walk out with more morels than we have space for – its almost comical. Granted, with 30 plus years of experience at hunting morels, we’re pretty much guaranteed to be successful at finding fantastic mushrooms inches from where others hunters had just given it their all.

Claim your copy of the Morel Mushroom Book now, and make 2010 the year that you don’t miss any of that incredible “low hanging fruit!”

Fear not – that is all about to change very soon!

Our first video will be a basic introduction to the Morel Mushroom Book and what you can expect from the content contained within, but very soon we hope to add “live” video instruction from morel hunts out in the wild.

Once we’ve knocked out a few of those videos, our next goal is to take all of the accumulated knowledge of the book, coupled with J.T.’s ongoing experience to create a truly one-of-a-kind training video series. Who know: we may even have a professionally produced DVD in the works… you’ll just have to wait and see.

In the mean time, make sure you’re checking back here at morelbook.com frequently as the new content – video and print – will be coming.

We’re going to be extremely busy grabbing up our own share of this year’s morels, but we want to make sure that in 2010 you really get your fair share of the morels in your area, so check back soon and often as we’re going to do our level best to make this the year that all your friends envy your successful morel hunts.

We’ve taken the same great content that countless people from all over the country have been enjoying in print format and wrapped it into an easy immediate access PDF file. Now you can get access to this one-of-a-kind content and instruction via an immediate download.

Once you’ve successfully processed your transaction – and saved yourself a few dollars by buying the digital only version – you’ll be improving your morel mushroom hunting “chops” in a matter of minutes. You can also print high resolution copies of the Morel Mushroom Book as soon as your download completes.

We do please ask that you don’t take advantage of this new format and that you only print a copy for your home enjoyment and one for your use in the field during your morel hunting. With that said, we’d like to add that we have a great deal of trust in the morel community and we’re confident that our customers will keep their download to themselves and not run off countless copies of the Morel book…

Once you’ve started to take advantage of the incredible tips and guidance found within the book, we’re pretty sure that you’re not going to want to share this information with your inner circle – they might just poach all the choice spots that you find with your new-found morel wisdom.
