For sure. The convenience is that I'm picking 15 minutes from my house but I have absolutely learned what kind of terrain not to bother with. The vast majority of those mushrooms were from within 100 feet of a body of water. When I've gotten further away it turns into way less productive picking.
And MU I agree about the weather here but I just wish it was a little less burny. It's been some rough fire seasons the last few years.

John, look carefully at this highlighted zone. These 3 acres produced 12 gallons, the riparian zones 300ft below didn't even produce 1 gallon. Snow transports up the dry slope and drops on the lee side. Yeah, its nowhere near a body of water but look at that slope erosion pattern under the highlighted area. There's so much water perched up there in the spring. There was still so much saturated soil up there in early August 2016 that a crown fire torching its way upslope hit that grove full blast and went out, leaving appx 50% dead trees and leaving the needles mostly intact. Water is more useful to us when it is soaked into the ground than it is as body of surface water.Last edited by neckdeep; 05-29-2022 at 01:08 PM.

This is better than the NSFW thread. Too bad I would need to shed 4k of elevation. I hunt elk, I know the struggle, but it is inverse.

I'm following, thanks for the explanation. The water I've been picking around is a pond on a bench under a 1k vert slope so I think I'm finding a similar phenomenon. That does give me some ideas of other places to check out tomorrow and next weekend. My area is about picked out but I scrounged up another 8 lbs today. I'd post a photo but Makers might lose his mind......oh what the hell.

Benches are often golden. Ground water running downslope will get pushed to the surface when it hits that bedrock extending out below the slope.

I suck at morel picking and usually let the wife do her thing. However today after getting skunked on the fishing I went out with her. Nothing special but I found the 2nd(?) Biggest and maybe more than half of our harvest. Still snow here up high.

Fantastic hauls everyone. Harvested a couple lbs from Dad’s lawn during the May long and half filed a gallon jar once dried; I leave the local wildfire morels to the Quebexicans, First Nations and the Queen to fight over. What a mess at some rec sites camps, private landowners pissed, jalopies w/o FS road channels dodging logtrucks unsuccessfully.
I do have a couple local spots to check after this weekend’s rains, but then it’s off to the coast for the annual seafood harvest. Keep the pics coming!

Found most of these in a few minute span, after hours of finding nothing. PM Rontele for GPS coordinates.

shroom picking
Game camera on my island caught this guy, I QRF’d out there in my boat and spoke to him. He was a mushroom picker. I gave him my cell phone and told him in the future I want a text from him asking permission. He was apologetic and said he would in the future.
Any maggot mushroom pickers are welcome on my island.
