My spots for morels - second part

The third station is also very classic :

it is a grassy area with three trees.
In this area grew morels - Morchella esculenta.
I don't know if implantation is perennial or pioneer as the first morels appeared next to an area with recent fire.

My spots for morels - first part

I present you the spots for morels that I discovered in 2011.

My first spot is classic :

it's a fallow area with european aspens.
In this area, two places of morels - Morchella elata - are located just meters.
By analyzing the ground a bit, I also found the remains of old fire place. I also found some morels at the foot of aspen up to 40 meters of the two main places.
This is probably an area where the implantation of morels is perennial.
