Yes!  If anyone could report the northward progress of morel fruiting in North
America &/or the West Coast, it would really be a big help to those of us who 
have to plan dates for mushroom club forays (some members in my group are 
still not convinced there's even such thing as a morel- we seem to have hit 
all the wrong dates and places last year.)  Tracking the chanterelle reports 
northward last fall in bionet.mycology proved to be very useful- we were able 
to hit the nail right on the head. I imagine that northward tracking would 
also benefit those further south who want to know how far they are into the 
season.	-RSW
