We where in the Priest River ID. area this week and the conditions are looking good for the start of morels.

My son found the first morel in the state of Washington.

It will be a long time before the morels come up here in Washington. This picture was taken a last week and there has been a lot more snow since then.

Mike not to worry I will pick your share of Chanterelles. Bill

We find morels in the same spots year after year. We are always looking for new spots with similar conditions. I have one spot of about 2000 sq. ft. where I have picked large stuffer morels for the last 20 years. We find that the gyromitra grow in the same area as we find morels. The matsutake we find are in the same area year after year also.

My first GPS was a very inexpensive Garmin that would not work well with a overhead canopy. My second GPS is DeLorme pn40 witch works well in thick woods. I down load maps and navigation charts. I mark the spots I where I find mushrooms or go to where I dropped my crab traps. I all so use mine for Ggeocaching.

Hi e Eastern Wa We use to go to San Juan Island When are kids where students and it was spring brake, the first week in April. We had good morel picking out toward lime kiln light house. Bill in Blaine
