800–6,288 ft · NH🚗 Directions
White Mountain NF — the largest block of public land in New England. Mt Washington (6,288 ft, highest in the Northeast). Northern hardwoods below 2,500 ft (sugar maple, beech, yellow birch), spruce-fir above. Classic morel ground in old orchard sites and flood-disturbed riverbanks along the Pemigewasset and Saco drainages. Season runs May-June depending on elevation. Chanterelles Jul-Sep in mixed hardwoods. Unpredictable mountain weather — prepare for all conditions.

Primordia readiness: Cold = mycelium dormant. Activating = soil warming, primordia building. Primed = 5+ sustained warm days at species threshold; fruiting imminent if moisture cooperates. Based on Schmidt 1983 / Mihail 2007.
