Morels peak in many areas, and St George's mushroom appears around late April. Spring has its own poisonous look-alikes. Our guide lists 9 species typically found in April, of which 4 are poisonous or deadly.
Based on typical timing in temperate Europe and North America. Local conditions vary a lot, and Southern Hemisphere seasons are about six months apart.
