The morel sighting maps are a great way to help each other out a little. Morel hunters often refer to the maps as the morel progression maps, and they have always been a favorite. The Great Morel is often asked “Is it time yet?” or “Are there morel sightings in my neck of the woods?” The maps are a great resource on when one might begin their foraging adventure.
If you would like to submit a sighting, the guidelines are pretty simple fill in the form with a Zip Code, a City, and State, along with and date found. If you want to add any additional information such as county, weather or soil conditions, or an image that is fine (two-image limit). Sightings will be posted periodically throughout the day during the prime morel season.

2025 Morel Sightings Map
The first official morel sighting has been reported! The 2025 Morel season is now on! An unseasonably chilly spring in the southern states has had the morels on hold, but as of March 7th the season is now open. Many of you who visit The Great Morel will anxiously wait as the season progresses but if it is your time – head to the woods for the rebirth of the morels!
Click here for the 2025 Photo Gallery and while you are here, maybe visit The Morel Store where everything is on sale! Spend a little time on The Great Morel, and don’t forget to read some of the great articles too.
Note: the sighting reports are updated periodically throughout the day during the prime morel season. Markers are dropped on the map by Zip and or Town name, not actual GPS coordinates.
There are plenty of features on the interactive map – double click on images to open full size, zoom, filter by month, full screen and more. Below the map you can find a table listing of the 40 most recent sightings along with images and notes if they were sent – there is a “more pages” button at the bottom of this table. If you have issues not seeing the latest sightings markers, try un-checking a month in the bottom left corner of the map and then rechecking the box next to the month. It should refresh correctly.

| Motel sighting in central Texas - As it was dry in our area during March, the historical month for hunting morels in central Texas, we were disappointed when we looked for the delicacy. On April 9th, even though it was late but having had recent rains & the right temperatures, we surprisingly found enough morels to feed our family a large pasta & morels dinner. Yay!! Even 1 morel is better than none, & we found several, enough to fill an almost medium sized bowl. The photo shows 4 cleaned morels; the rest had already been added to the pasta. ;))
|
| Found a decent flush - Stumbled upon these little guys. They seemed to recently pop, considering their size. I left a dozen or more behind, I'll check on them next weekend. Hopefully there will be a lot more.
