My usual places are tapped. Where can I find some?

You should note that morels have not (to my knowledge) been successfully cultivated, and so you are at the whims of the Wild Mushroom Gods, who have pretty much decreed that there will be no morels until next Spring.

They actually can be cultivated with a lot of sweat and tears and tons of luck but its so not worth even attempting. I bought fresh morels at Depiero's last year in July so somebody is growing them.
Thanks for the leads guys I'll check em out

If you find them, and have the opportunity to discover their source, please report back; I am curious.They actually can be cultivated with a lot of sweat and tears and tons of luck but its so not worth even attempting.

(I spent a few minutes Googling around and came up with one supplier in Oregon who claimed to have them for sale -- though it could just be a website that wasn't updated -- and a place that morel growing kits, but cultivated morels for sale).

Found 'em today but they didn't divulge their source, well it was more like the people I asked had no idea. Bought 3/4 lb total fresh. I put about 1/8 of the smaller ones in the dehydrator to dry and fried up the rest in butter with a a lite coating in flour. $30/Lb worth it at twice the price these gems.

I haven't found them really this year, but if you are up for the trip the Warwick NY farmers market usually has a mushroom vendor that has them fresh and dried.

Back at the fancy food show in 2008, I remember there was a company who claimed to have figured out how to cultivate them, but of course didn't want to divulge any secrets. I don't remember any useful details, like a name, unfortunately!

Chettie's Exotic Mushrooms at the Stockton Market has them. They are foraged by a local mushroom hunter. I believe they are $32 a pound.
