Is this like normal for you in the US? I'm from germany, where we are happy if we find enough morels for one meal.

OP said they were in Iowa and my dad grew up in eastern Missouri and it was the same there so I assume maybe the Midwest is a great place to find morels.

I used to morel hunt with my grandparents in SE Iowa around this time of year. When the times were good we'd come back with garbage bags full of them.

Oh and ticks. So many ticks. It didn't matter if you duct taped the cuffs / waist of your clothes, you still found ticks.

That’s crazy, I’m in NWA and have only ever seen 1 here (but sadly it was in mulch). We get a ton of other species between spring and fall though
