Completely different strain of Morchella from our earlier collections in Tumwater this morning. These have all the characteristics of the yellow Morels that we come across later in the season in Eastern Washington usually.
Fruiting in a less disturbed “natural” setting beneath Salal and Oregon grape in a conifer canopy.
Temp- mid to upper 50’s bright and sunny!
Heavy rains steady last few weeks.
Many Pseudoplectania and Trichoglossum species close by in the same substrate.

Found about 50 yards from other 17th rd. post today.
Fruiting in a less disturbed “natural” setting beneath Salal and Oregon grape in a conifer canopy.
Temp- mid to upper 50’s bright and sunny!
Heavy rains steady last few weeks.
Many Pseudoplectania, Gyromitra esculenta and Trichoglossum species close by in same substrate.
Most of these Morchella had already been consumed by larva on tops of spore bearing structure unfortunately :(

First morel of the 2012 season found in a spot we usually don’t begin harvesting until late April. Apparently the harsh/extended winter did not affect Morchella fruiting in Olympia negatively.
Fruiting in grass under unkown(non native to my knowledge) deciduous tree.
Temp: 60, sunny.

Three fruiting bodies(with many small pins beginning to show themselves, as well) beneath two mature apple and Douglas fir trees. I have monitored and collected from this exact same spot for nearly ten seasons now. Even when we lived in Yakima(3hrs away) I would return in late April to check this and many other spots at Evergreen campus.
