After an excellent introduction talk about Morels and how to find them by club identifier Bob Sleigh the large group drove round to the main Pine Ridge park to hunt for Morels. The group split into 4 sub groups and went in different directions along with a guide. A storm rolled through the area but the thunder, lightning and rain quickly dissipated and did not dampen the crowds enthusiasm for the morel hunt. Each group found some morels, along with an assortment of other species. We then reconvened to compare our finds and identify the other species.
