tropit - morels grow well in poplar/aspen forests. They also pop up like crazy in the spring following a forest fire. The area will be rich in morels for a few years following the fire.
I always feel blind when morel picking. I will be standing staring at the ground and someone will swoop in and pluck one from between my feet. Go early in the spring before there's too much greenery for the mushrooms to hide under.
