Abstract:
The morel is the first mushroom that grows in the spring. From a distance, they look like pine cones and grow most abundantly in Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky. There is still no effective way to guarantee morels will grow in the same place year and after year, and therefore commercially growing the mushrooms has proven impossible. They can be found in apple orchards and woods, and the best time to search for them is after a warm spring rain.

More information about the living thing classified in its own kingdom can be found in the author’s description of fungal anatomy, an activity called spore printing, and a local mushroom club.
