The most common edible mushroom hunted by mushroom enthusiasts is the morel or sponge-mushroom. Abandoned orchards and areas with ash or elm trees are often the most productive areas for mushroom seekers. Wild mushrooms typically grow under the cover of leaves, dead wood and other forest debris, quickly emerging after a moderate or heavy rain. Woodlands in the eastern half of the state offer some of the best mushroom hunting opportunities. Mushroom hunting is permitted at all 20 state forests in Ohio, encompassing more than 200,000 acres. Many state park areas also allow mushroom hunting, however individuals should contact park officials for specific rules and restrictions that may apply to each facility.
