Great stuff. I hope to get down to Rainier this week. Wen, Thurs. I don't have much experience with morels, do you think it would have been dry to long by then for them to still be popping up?

I take it this was east of the passes?  I looked for years on the west side of the cascades with no luck.

cowlitz, I think morels will be fairly easy to come by for the next couple weeks at 3000'-5000' on the east slopes.  go up to where the snow has recently melted and the ground should be nice and wet even if we don't get any more rain for a while.  the areas I was finding them in had small, scattered patches of snow left, should be gone in a couple days. 

not aware of any reasonably close/accessible burns in the area landsnorkler, but if I come across any, I will check them out :smile: .

never eaten the false morels, but I have seen groups out collecting them.

yup RR, I do all my morel hunting east of the crest...

pics are amazing!!! I understand people eat morels, but they just don't look too appealing to me. Can anyone describe their flavor?

Damn, we missed eachother again Spores!  I hope we can sync up at least one of our hunts before the season's over.  Anyways, beautiful shots.  I was too "morel drunk" to take my eyes off the ground and pull out my camera :tongue:

I like that pic of the coral fungi.  My hunting partner found a big clump and apparently likes to cook it.  Never tried any, but they're quite meaty. 

I've also heard that a vendor at the Ballard farmers market sells those Gyromitra giga.  Never tried them either, but I'd like to (after some thorough cooking).
