As a Minnesotan, Morels are prized. Having been defeated this year in my home state and Iowa, left with only 1 mushroom to share between many, Washington was a chance for revenge. We went out with author and forager Langdon Cook -- into the Eastern Cascades, many miles up the mountains and to a "burn zone."

We learned the ins and outs of this western version of a Minnesota treasure.
