After a couple weeks of looking for morel mushrooms in Spokane wilderness areas I finally came across two blonde beauties today. I've seen an abundance of poisonous false morels so be careful if you're on the hunt. I won't reveal my new secret area but I will say that I found them near the Spokane River. They tasted delicious. They are hopefully the first of many this season. If you can't find any yourself, Mo at the Millwood Farmer's Market will hook you up. The market starts May 18.
There are plenty to be had in the Dishman Hills area.. found many in my own back-40

Will, I've been looking there without any luck so far. Have you found any there this season?

Yes, quite a few actually. Many more than I expect around, but not in the old burn area.

I have been looking in the old burn area off of indian trail with no luck. Do you have any suggestions where to look?

Dawn,
I've been finding them under Ponderosas on moist green patches of earth at lower elevations on sloped hillsides around the Spokane Valley. Not much at Loon Lake, Twin Lakes, or Liberty Lake areas. Good luck.

I was up there yesterday and they are there for the picking up high.
