   There are morels in your state, but an oak forest is not the place to look.   
   Look for areas with ash, elm and tulip poplar. Check rich stream drainages,   
   They should start in the next 1-3 weeks. When you've had 5 consecuative nights   
   with the temperature    
   above 50 get out and look.
