Hunting Washington Forum

Sure they are. Just zoom in the screen! Got em so close I took the banded one with my 28ga.

Another matsutake characteristic is that the butt will almost always have sand on it and there's no bulb. The butt goes down to a dull point. I see no matsutake in any of these pics.

Pretty standard.  We see harlies all the way from Montana in the salt water as they nest near fast flowing mountain streams.  When we used to fish the canyon on the Wind River sometimes you would see flocks of them flying up and down that river.  They have also banded them on the Methow River.

Trying to expand my knowledge past spring morels

I was wondering if these could be matsutake, but I don't see a veil?

The easiest way to tell if it’s matsutakes is the smell. They have a spicy smell to them that is like nothing else. When they get old the veil peels back. Also brown on the stem. However when in doubt throw it out

Might fit in access section but wanted to throw this out there for upcoming Modern Elk. Information only.

The previously discussed gate on Nasty Creek Rd is locked. Photo is from last Friday (Oct 17) afternoon and I can confirm it was locked Saturday (Oct 18) afternoon. No decent turnaround for anyone with a trailer so beware.
