I live in N. Idaho and have only run into these a few times. The first year I found a small patch of them and some were actually gray in color. I consider myself an expert morel hunter; however, I have to admit that I really know very little about these elusive mountain/western blondes. I know an area in the Blue Mountains (Washington) where the yellow morels seem to appear every year, but I would rather find those pretty blondes. Does anybody have any details on where to find these in Idaho?
I think I read once that these are more closely related to blacks than the typical yellows found under cottonwoods or dying elms out east. But man, the are a pain in the arse to find decent amounts. I think 2007 was the best for me, but every subsequent year the same patch produced fewer it seems. Nice vid chicken.
So what are these mountain blondes, COW? Are they light-colored blacks--or the montane variety of riparian yellows? Damn, there's a lot to learn about our beloved Morchella.
Most excellent vid-u-lations. Thanks for the education. I'm ready to get back out there!

Now those are my kind of woodland blondes!
I was surprised to find you on here, though I don't know why I was surprised, you seem to be everywhere! *chuckle*
