Look at the terrain and climate of your prospecting area. Part 2.

From these observations, we can already establish an early prospecting strategy.

A nice soil for morel.

The morel likes wetlands, but not too cool and relatively well exposed.










We therefore eliminate the land too heavy and poorly exposed.
To recognize a light or heavy ground , just take a little land and do like gardeners , tighten in your hand.

An heavy soil forms a ball or a compact roll which stays in place, a very light soil or a light soil forms a ball or a roll which disintegrates rather easily.

Microscopic observations.

No need to move with a shovel, the observation of molehills allows you to get an idea of ​​the nature of the soil and to make these tests.

Similarly, the observation of the banks and bottom of a stream provides informations on soil type.

Observation of molehills.

Early in the season, I seek in areas of alluvial valley floors with a relatively light soil, often siliceous, well exposed and relatively sheltered from the cold and drying wind.

If necessary, I can also go a few kilometers towards the plain where the vegetation is often more advanced with milder temperatures.
Later in the season, I seek in higher areas , less well exposed, more windy and dry.
