Here we are only five weeks from Morel season. I can't take this waiting much longer! If this "el-nino" cool and wet weather pattern continues we may be waiting even longer. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-65130218045870084912010-02-24T11:50:16.791-06:002010-02-24T11:50:16.791-06:00You folks out west have it good in my book. If you...You folks out west have it good in my book. If you can track down fire burn morels you can really hit the motherlode.<br />I have only hunted out west once, in the mountains around Mt. Rainier outside of Seattle. It was mid-June and the rains were unusually absent. The entire two weeks I was there, I only saw one shower and it lasted all of 20 minutes.<br />However, I did manage to find some natural black morels but only due to the fact that a local mushroom hunter was kind enough to show me around. So there are morels to be, juts keep looking and try to get tips if you can (though I think we all know how much you can trust a morel hunter about where to look, even family will send you on a wild goose chase).<br />I envy you guys with your nearly year round hunting and with the one mushroom we don't seem to find in Missouri, the procini or King Bolete. There have been a few reported to be found in this state but the finds are very sparse, like decades apart and only one or two mushrooms. So, naturally the King is at the top of my "to find" list and I hope someday I can head back out to the Pacific North West and finally check that one off my life list.ahistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272777202863968238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-28784168745878539452010-02-24T09:20:32.850-06:002010-02-24T09:20:32.850-06:00Before it catches Me???

We forgo the paper and pencil by creating a "Waypoint" in the GPS. Lastly our visions don't begin until late April and usually are not tangibly fulfilled until mid May. <br /><br />No matter how, where or when the frying pan is a constant! <br /><br />Heron-A-FootAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32979156.post-26088641094258967092010-02-23T18:51:21.992-06:002010-02-23T18:51:21.992-06:00Aaahhhh!

We've found some false morels and just a couple of months ago I found an exposed truffle (too old), but again, no morels...<br /><br />I've heard that they've been seen on this side of the mountains (as we Western Washingtonians say),but not by us.<br /><br />An acquaintance of mine from Idaho, saw last years "big haul" of chants and said to me, "I've never had those before, we always had those ones that look like brains. All you had to do was walk out your back door." (Bitch...)<br /><br />~CLoveRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
