Hi All,
I live on the West Coast and love mushroom hunting almost as much as I love detecting. Our morel season is just starting here, but I've had fun checking out all the other posts showing pics of morels from you lucky folks who get to start picking them in late March or April.
One thing I've noticed is that the morels from the midwest and the northeast don't look much like the one's we pick out here. I realize there are several varieties of morels, but I don't think that's necessarily the only reason because we routinely pick different varieties here and they differ mainly by the look and arrangement of the pits.
Thought some of you might like to see what our shrooms look like. They grow primarily in disturbed ground, in white fir forests.
