morel mushrooms when do they grow
Morel Growth. Morels normally grow in a five-year cycle of gathering and storing nutrients after the spores fall, cross-pollinate and germinate. The root system that supports the sprouting morel is annual and is replaced each season after it deteriorates.Morels emerge in moist, warm soil -- a good time to search for them is after the first rain of the season and during the first warm days of spring, when the night temperature stays above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.hough efforts to cultivate them haven't been successful, they're easy to identify and collect where they grow in the wild. Collect morels in mesh bags to let the microscopic spores fall and possibly begin another growth cycle near the same site.
