turkeyfeathers Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Skunk cabbage. Turkeys will eat the seeds. My fall bird 2 years ago had its crop stuffed with them. And keep your eyes peeled in that area for morels now and soon. Perfect location around and near there. It’s how I found some last year. Gotta beat the slugs to the shrooms though. They could pop in a day so be persistent! Edited April 22, 2018 by turkeyfeathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the first I’m hearing about skunk cabbage being a good indicator of morels- not doubting you of course ...just saying!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I hunted morels for years on same ground and never found any. Finally read they like similar ground to skunk cabbage. Last year daughter and I were approaching the noon deadline to our hunt for turkey in spring. Said let’s take a deer trail I think may hold morels near the skunk cabbage. I think I yelled bingo pretty loud as my hunch payed off They were on the edge of a spring run off of a slight hill, mucky and loaded with skunk cabbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Morels have always been around elm and poplar and ash ( usually wetter edges of woods hold these trees) I have seen many nearl old large elm stumps. Being skunk cabbage like similar areas I would agree with turkey feather assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
