The game "Morels" is about finding things - morels obviously, other mushrooms, animals, Golden morels and a few "lost things" from our civilization. So, when you look here for getting the location of some collectibles, ask yourself following questions first:
  1. Did you use the Golden Morel hints given in the Hunter's manual. They are typically sufficient to find the Golden morels easily.
  2. Do you want to to spoil yourself the pleasure of finding these things on your own?
  3. Did you actually take the time to look for them on your own or are you just after quick achievements?

As you will see I will be heavily using spoiler tags in this guide, plus I will only give you just the hints you need to go the "last mile" of finding the things yourself. I have seen this concept in other guides for other games and I liked it. If you want a plain "Search A? -> Here on map" guide, feel free to look somewhere else.

Since I found all the things listed here without consulting a guide, you might see a "TO BE FOUND" entry on some collectibles, marking those I haven't found myself yet.
If you find mistakes in my guide (and be it just spelling or grammar), feel free to drop me a note below.

Some general morel finding hints
The best weather to find normal morels is an overcast day, but a rainy day is also OK (but difficult in the night with the headlamp on). On sunny days, turning the headlamp on can help coping with the strong contrasts. Normal and Golden morels are also relatively easy found during the dusk and night with either the headlamp on or the camera on "Night mode", because then most mushroom species stand out relatively well due to their bright color. Especially Golden Morels are easier to find during the night since the emit a faint golden glow. The also emit a slight buzzing sound if you are close to them.

Another general hint is that Golden morels and collectibles are often (but not always) on the border of a map and/or in slightly less accessible places. If you find a hidden passage, chances are, you will find something precious there.

That said, let's start searching now ...
Golden Morels
Cabin in the Woods
  • Tip 1: It grows on the far side of the river.
  • Tip 2: Search for it west of the large morel statue.

Georgia Woods
  • Tip 1: You have to cross a cave first
  • Tip 2: When you enter the swamp area, it is on the opposite side of the swamp.

Indiana Country
  • Tip 1: Close to the border of the central field
  • Tip 2: Have a look around the tractor.

Northern Lakes
  • Tip 1: Look in the western area
  • Tip 2: It's located up a slope on the upper map border.

Rocky Mountains
  • Tip 1: It is located in a rocky area in the northwest
  • Tip 2: It can best be spotted by looking down from close to the road.

Texas Ranch
  • Tip 1: As the guide hints, look for a dead-end street on the map.
  • Tip 2: At the lower map border

Redwood Forest
  • Tip 1: It is located in a small canyon near the river.
  • Tip 2: Look for it "west" of (and below) the largest waterfall.
Other collectibles
Note: Some maps contain one, two or even three collectibles. You may note that often one map contains two collectibles which somehow fit together, so for example old sword, shield and helmet are found on the same map, and pearl neclace and bracelet are also on the same map. Maybe this helps you guess where a certain missing item might to be found.

Wapiti antlers
  • Map Texas Ranch
  • Tip 1: Near a rusty car
  • Tip 2: Near the outer fence

Gargoyle Statue
  • Map Georgia Woods
  • Tip 1: In the swamp area
  • Tip 2: On the water edge in the "southern" area of the swamp

Chalice
  • Map Rocky Mountains
  • Tip 1: East (right) of the river
  • Tip 2: In a rock niche at the southern edge of the map

Bracelet
  • Map Northern Lake
  • Tip 1: In the lake
  • Tip 2: At the bottom of the lake 's western part, but not close to the hut. Easy to miss, but you might see some sparkle ... or the white pickup text.
I only found this one with the help of "Rachi".

Clay Pot
  • Map Cabin in the woods
  • Tip 1: In the isolated area in the northwestern corner
  • Tip 2: Pickup

Gold coin
  • Map Indiana County
  • Tip 1: Pretty much opposite of the starting point
  • Tip 2: If you don't see it, it doesn't mean there's nothing. Chances are you were standing right in front of it and still didn't see it. I only found it because the white "Pickup" text came up, and I had to look three times carefully at the scene before I spotted the coin itself.
  • Tip 3: It's in the tractor shed

Old bowl
  • Map Cabin in the woods
  • Tip: Search for it in the river

Pearl neclace
  • Map Northern Lake
  • Tip 1: A scuba diving set is recommended, but not required.
  • Tip 2: Dive for a sunken boat

Old shield
  • Map Redwoods
  • Tip 1: Next to a fallen tree not far from the upper map border
  • Tip 2: You see it better coming from the upper map border.

Helmet
  • Map Redwoods
  • Tip 1: Near the river
  • Tip 2: Somewhere between the home base and the hill on the north east corner
  • Tip 3: Close to the path ... and yet a bit hidden.
Again, thanks to "Rachi" for the tip.

Old sword
  • Map Redwoods
  • Tip 1: On the right hand side of the river.
  • Tip 2: In a stone not too far from the lower map border

Ball and chain
  • Map Georgia Forest
  • Tip 1: In a cave
  • Tip 2: In the western cave, high above your starting point.

Great guide! Love how you give tips/hints intead of telling whre the item is, also Love how you have each tip blacked out until you scroll over it! Wish all guides on steam were like that:D

Ah, nice guide ! I'll use it to complete my collection, I'm not missing much now and i was starting to get a bit frustrated without clues... But I personnally really like that you're not giving it right away ! I wish there were some unlockable hints about the collectable thingies like there is for golden morels in game.

Very nice and creative way to make walkthough

@MB А где найти "Bracelet"? я провела 5 дней под водой - я каждую рыбу, каждую лягушку уже там знаю ! Я просто не понимаю, где его можно найти (В озере и не рядом с хижиной - мне ничего не дает)

@Сахарок Often enough a hint is enough to find these things yourself. Knowing that a certain collectible is on a certain map and underwater, for instance, rules out like 90% of the area already.
I personally don't understand why some people think "achievements" should be easy as an afternoon walk. If I haven't achieved something myself there's nothing to be pround of for me.

Зачем вообще создавать гид по предметам, если не указано точное их местоположение?
Ведь, в конце концов, любой из нас лезет в ГИД в основном для того, чтобы узнать, где эта чертова вещь лежит, так как сами не в состоянии найти...

@Liane This guide is all about not spoiling the pleasure of finding things yourself. I will not post maps here. Most likely you will find maps in other guides.

No need for further requests for map locations.

I need a map with the exact locations, no hints...

I cant seem to find any of the Redwoods collectibles if theres any other hints?
