Here's what to look for when hunting morel mushrooms in Missouri

The most marvelous time of year is upon us. That's right. It's time to grab your hiking stick, put on your boots and grab your mesh bag to hunt for morel mushrooms.

The delectable morsels are among the most popular fungi in Missouri, and spring is usually the best time to find them. While many avid hunters hold their secret spots close to their chests, others are willing to point you in a direction you might be successful.

The Show-Me State has several public access areas you can venture into to seek out morels, but be sure to look over regulations regarding collections.
