I found a Dryad Saddle mushroom yesterday and the Lilacs are beginning to bloom.<br /><br />I usually find common Morels in grassy areas near dead Elm trees.

I use compost from the community site and there must have been spores in some of it. OR it could be the mushroom fairy and the giant morel statues I put in my garden to encourage the forces of nature to send mushrooms. Sort of like duck decoys, but with mushrooms.Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13309574.post-47614850330448826792010-05-04T05:38:12.797-05:002010-05-04T05:38:12.797-05:00I envy you those; I love morels!

Now that I have them, I have been searching the internet to find out how to keep them happy. My instincts on watering were good.
