DethHed: Fair enough-- you're quite right that the climate is no where near as good on the E. Side; I too grew up in E. WA. As far as 'common goes', there are certainly are actives in the Blue Mountains--I mean 'common' in the right place; By the right place, I mean, the lower foothills of the Umitilla. Cyans can be found if conditions are right--as you said, above freezing and wet. I've found psilos as late as November, but there does need to be a mild fall. Not sure of variety, but about the same size as cyans with longer stem, wavy margin, brown gills, purple print and staining blue. Forget about finding anything in the wheatland, or even growing anything there, but things are really different along the timber margin in the extreme south east.
The thing is, I've only found anything interesting in two places: 1) inside stream beds, under dense bushes and 2) under long wet grass along streams; I believe there is some insulating value that keeps conditions more humid and above freezing when surrounding temps are boarderline freezing. It's also important to be looking along streams that have a lot of alder or birch trees, seems to be key to finding anything. I've spent a fair amount of time around the Spokane area too, and never had any luck, but some report the random psilo find...I can't say I've had such luck.
Sorry I can't 'show you the money'--pretty tough to hunt in WA when living in Rotterdam. I don't think it would be worth anyone taking a trip for hunting purposes; if any of my old friends go into the Blues and send me pics I'll pass them along as proof of what I say.
If you're interested in just finding many different species, and id'ing them for fun, I can't think of a better place than the Blue Mts. Seriously, there were times we would go hunting and find as many as 25 different species in an afternoon, any time of year.
Good luck to everyone this year, and be careful!!!

hey washingtonians ..you might not want to give out your direct location so willingly...bad form!......there are private message channels for that.....but I was thinking why not be more proactive....has the thought occured to you that you could start colonizing any park by using Moes outdoor tek......just start making your own outdoor spots instead of wasting all your time hunting.....
when person A goes on a walk with the dog to check on his crumbled up PF cakes at site X...he could check on and watch over person B's crumbled up cakes just inches away....think of it as transplanting an alien civilization...(rabbit, horse, )shit with Moes outdoortek( literally) ...you can have a virtual dumping ground......
there could be another group working with another species on cardboard instead of Moes tech with cakes.....just a second cell of people....this is a hypothetical brainstorming for a fictional novel and not meant to be taken seriously ...ok

I see all these stories of people finding great finds in Seattle parks, but I'll be damned if I can find anything after LOTS of searching.
