There for sure out there. One of the crews working at Iatan Power plant near Weston Missouri brought in a 1 bound freezer bag chock full. They found them as usual on the Federal side of the 500 year Missouri River levee on the grassy 3:1 slope near edge of timber line. This was without much effort after they ate there lunch.
I fry them in a beer batter but like just as much sauteed in butter.
You can hunt them around all the usual places we all say. When the may apples pop near a steep creek bank, near dead trees especially elms. But what I have found is a morel will grow wear it damn pleases. I run into patches where I least expect them in open in tall grass. I once was about to hose down my central AC unit by the side my house. Right in the dirt next to the concrete pad was a morel. Looked a little more found 5 or 6 more in the grass slope away from the house. All I could figure is a few days befor I found a mess at work came home in my work duds and mowed the lawn. Must have had some spores on me. Havent found them there since.
