The Broye crosses Vaud and Fribourg. Agricultural plain, small valleys, riparian woodland, slopes and Plateau forest create clear contrasts between open ground, edges and more continuous woodland. For morels, use spring soil temperature, moisture and site history. Morchella includes several species, some linked to broadleaf trees or disturbed ground, with no universal partner tree.
Habitat and species
Edges, open woods, riverine areas or disturbed soils depending on species. Moisture near water does not automatically mean suitable soil. Compare drainage, tree composition, litter and aspect, and separate grassland species from woodland species.

Season and microclimate
Mainly spring, shifting later with elevation. In Broye, elevation, aspect and drought duration can advance, delay or interrupt this window.
Prepare the trip
First combine the habitat of Morchella spp., retained moisture and weather over the preceding weeks. This is a cross-cantonal region. One trip can move from Vaud to Fribourg rules, so always identify the canton and municipality before collecting.
