Be careful and only eat a little bit your first time though. I harvested some off either Doug fir or hemlock and my throat got very raspy for a day or two so they can cause allergic reactions.

4/19/19 I found a morel growing right beside my back door in north Seattle, north side of house. This spot had been under concrete for at least 40 years. About 2 years ago, we broke through the concrete patio to R&R a sewer. I left it uncovered as a planting area. It was sterile sand, so I added a lot of compost, dead wood and other organic matter.
Do morels grow here on the west side ordinarily?

I don't know, but I have the same situation in West Seattle. A couple of days ago I spotted something unusal coming out from under tarped wood chips. It looked weird and I grabbed it up and threw it in the recycle bin. Not being a mushroom hunter type, it took me a few minutes to process it. There were these three sort of arrowhead shaped thingies branching off a base, just poking out from the tarp. They were fairly dark and spongy with open-celled structure.
Then I noticed yet another group on the other side of the tarped chip pile. I have left these in place for now to see what they do. I thought to maybe take a photo and email to a friend. But your story seems to confirm that they do appear in the city. I looked up morels in search and the images are similar. Who knew? ~z

What is the story with the commercial pickers? I notice they flock to burn areas requiring special camps and management by the Forest Service. Obviously, they are there for a reason. Is it a bad idea to head up to these areas with my family? I don't want to find things picked out or feel unwelcome.

The bottom one looks like a chanterelle but I would need to see the (false) gills to be sure.
Yay for mushroom season! It looks like all this rain will make for an early start!

Looks like a shaggy mane mushroom. Good when very fresh, but blacken quickly and very gooey when older. Quite watery to my taste, but my wife likes them a lot....

Looking at the Shaggy Mane Mushroom photo's (google) I believe you're right. I'm no mushroom expert! Thank you!!

That mushroom is also often seen in local lawns!

it rained Friday and Saturday, I went out the Dosewallips on Tuesday...
They were bursting out of the ground everywhere under the trees.

Are any of those edible?

not sure...I'm a looker more than a taster.
The slime mold made me crave a fried egg...

These are very much edible--if the bugs haven't beaten you to it...
