Soooo, things dried up in a hurry! We went from plenty of rain to hot and dry in about a week. How did everyone do with the early blonde morels?

Did ok with the early blondes…. Now off to the blacks … I find most at 6500-7200 ft in the mountains this time of year 🙂 How about you Dean?
Hi Paul,
I think you might be on to something! Any excuse to be in the mountains!
Happy hunting,
Dean
Hi Paul,
I was going to be passing through Western Montana on THU, FRI, SAT and thought get a hint as to where / what mushrooms might be coming up here in mid-June. I’m thinking blonde morels are drying out as your site said. I saw some on UT-ID border last week at ~6000.
My current thought is to drive over Lolo Pass and go for a hike Friday PM or Saturday AM. I’m thinking higher is better, so I’ll push the rental car into the hills.
Happy hunting,

Hi Dean!
I found a moderate amount of morels this spring. It seemed as though I could not find more than just a few in a spot. I would always come home with just enough for a meal -with none left to dehydrate. The rain was great -the night time temps just didn’t want to get above 40. I did see a few pics. of some nice harvests though. My high elevation spots are already pretty dry and I think I may give up on 2015 morels. Time to start hoping for some nice soakers in July and August. I may put a little more effort into chanterelle hunting this year. Hope you are having a great season!
