Morel Mushrooms Delayed

One of the delights of a Montana spring, the Morel mushroom. Some locals wait for their emergence because of the unique flavor. Others take to the mountains for profit. Either way the Morel mushroom is a staple in Montana life.

Born of fire. Fleeting in life. Sought after like nothing else in a Montana spring. This delicacy of the mountains brings anticipation like none other.

Cold Wet Spring

Mired in a drought for a decade, the Montana snow pack has been surprising. The snow pack has been listed at 150% of average. The spring has been cool and wet. Snow continues to fall in the high country. In years past, the morel season was winding down by now. This year promises to be a banner crop for those with patience.
For the impatient, try the Tin Cup Fire, Rombo Fire and Rat Creek Fire.
