They do seem to like it damp-I've hit into them on a golf course, at the edge of some trees where they got fairway water, and at a bird sanctuary on a marsh (where my sister in law decided to see if they had a scent- bad idea). They should be out in force by now on the west coast.

Depending where you are, it may be too early for them and I don't think they get shipped around much. It's still pretty brown in the northeast...

Other than in the wild, I've only seen them in specialty markets or farmers markets.
