I was looking for morrels today and couldn't find anything. What's the trick? I was down in marshy areas with open grassy meadows and also some slash piles. Maybe wrong terrain

The yellow ones are coral mushrooms, really yummy with garlic, butter and a bit of salt!

big migrant camp up near fruitland - all up where the fires hit last year picking morels.  buyers are lined up at the fruitland store paying $10.00/lbs.  Nephew picked up 40 lbs. during the turkey hunt, we ate them all-didn't know they were going to be buying them.  Quite the spectacle, tents everywhere.

Baldo I'll bet that area will be trashed after they leave.
I read somewhere that there were restrictions on the amount harvested and no commercial pickers. That may have been N Idaho???
A guy in the paper offering $20/lb.

it's been a great year for morels, I've never even seen a coral mushroom.  Interesting going to have to keep my eyes open better I guess.  cool  :tup:

its tough on this side of the mountains, much easier to find on the Eastside.  Another reason to draw a spring bear permit over there!!

I saw so many of those coral mushrooms this weekend and was wondering what they were...  I would imagine it was a couple 5 gallon buckets I saw and wasn't even looking...

I suspect they'll leave a mess alright.  I'm wondering what effect 300-400 kunckleheads wandering around up there will have on the fawning/calving season and also on the nesting turkeys.  From what I've seen that group won't really be to environmentally carful.  I heard beer sales are way up in the local stores.
