4 types of Morels in 1 day- How to find them!
Aaron Hilliard, VP of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, takes us on a journey into Mushroom Wonderland to discover how to find 4 (actually 5) types of Morel mushrooms in one day. By visiting a couple of different habitats at the right time inb spring, we manage to find a bunch of the delicous edible mushrooms growing wild in Washington State.
The Morchella snyderi can be found growing naturally on the eastern slopes of the cascxade mountians right around mid May to mid June. They seem to like the conifer covered mountianside where not too much sun hits, so they can take advantage of the moisture left behind by the recent snowmelt. A combination of the moist soil and the new spring temperatures makes for great growing habitiat for the delicious fungi. Along side them grows an unusual type of "Morel" called the "Thimblecap Morel" or Verpa conica. It is not a typical Morel although it is in the family of morels in the family Morchellaceae.
Then we dramatically shift gears and drive an hour and a half westward over Hwy 2 to a forest fire site that happened in 2022 known as the Bolt Creek fire near Skykomish, WA where we encounter a few othert types of Morels including Morchella elata , a black burn morel that is famous for its good flavor, the Yellow Morel- Morchella esculenta- growing in abundance on the edge of the burn, and some elusive and delicious sought after edible fire Morels known as Morchella exuberans.
