Reports from these states were all-in-all pretty darn good given the fact of a shaky start. The cold spring weather left just in time for the morels and they climbed their way into the morel heartland — the Upper Midwest. Eventually, the season balanced out and reports of findings seemed to be in better time. The upper Midwest states of Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas all seem to report a decent season and few comments coming in are saying they need a little more rain.
That said, most were not complaining too loudly, and were pretty happy with their efforts. Once again some of these folks were blessed with an extended season and some fortunate cooperation from Mother Nature. The Northeast states reported healthy looking shrooms for most of their season too. Some places in New York, New Hampshire and Vermont sent in some nice healthy morel pictures to the sightings map. Throw in the Canadian provinces which report morels — and everyone for the most part seemed to me happy shroomers.
The burn sites in the PNW were once again proving to keep those in their neck of the woods pretty happy too! The coastal region of Washington and Oregon sent in some nice looking photos and they were pleased. The West Central Coast is not a huge hot bed for morels but the folks in California had good success too!
