I love morels, sadly, I have a hard time finding them. I'm in too urban a location, though now that I have a place in Michigan that is private property and not well known by neighbors, I hope to have better luck this year. "When the leaves on the oaks are as big as a mouse's ear" is a good time to begin looking for morels. I tend to start looking early and have been lucky occasionally even a couple weeks late.
No finer eating mushroom in my opinion, and morels have few look alikes, and the few look alikes are not lethal look alikes. They might not taste good, might even cause stomach upset, but aren't likely to kill. Different story when hunting the parasol mushrooms, there the "look alike" is a "one bite will kill you" problem. I stopped hunting parasols, when I discovered a patch that was not clearly one, or the other. Decided they could wait until I had the time to get more training on identifying mushrooms.
Morels, puff balls, oyster mushrooms, lion's mane are the only ones I'm comfortable collecting these days, and only in woods where I am familiar with local "ecotypes".
Mushroom hunting is easily a hobby I could put serious time into if I didn't have so damn many other things going on to eat up my time.
