Storms and shrooms

[yote hunter]

Shrooms like this lighting and storms... Any of you guys down south finding any yet ? Found my first ones last year on the 10th here, so will be going out this weekend to just take a quick look... We have the rain just needs to stay warm for awhile..

Still haven't found any here in The Great Southern Forest, will look around some tomorrow. Redbud is just about ready to bloom.

Big brother and I spent six or seven hours today hunting south of Petersburg. We found some, but nothing like we do when they are on. Everything seemed really early yet.

I was gonna go out looking on Sunday up around Southport but I'm not too sure there will be any just yet.

These cool nights aint helping but I'll look a little Sunday just in case. Was out in the woods a little tonight. Lot of buds coming out, we're close

You're too early, I think. Around here (Southport) it's gonna be a while yet.

All the rain is helping and the temps have been in a good spot for a bit. The trilliums, trout lillies, redbuds are about to start budding. That brings us into morel season, which is still a tad early as of now. If its too early in the south, like leadeye is saying, then the central/northern parts of the state are early yet. In my experience the best/largest finds are end of April to beginning of may.

Also take in mind their growth rate in prime conditions is kinda slow and that gets slowed with wind like we've been having as it draws moisture away from the mushroom/mycelium organism.

The cool nights will not help, haven't been out yet , when the may flowers start opening up here they should be up.. Will do some shed hunting Sun, and while Im out I will look around a little but not getting serious yet just a tad early I believe.. When the guys down south start finding them its about another 2 weeks later here...

Went friday morning for about 2 hours. Nothing yet. I figured it was early still but with the weather it should be anytime. I'll go again middle of this week or so and see if i find anything.

 

[ghitch75]

just came back in....too early here yet......no red buds may apples are just coming through the leaves.........maybe by middle of next week.....

 

[whipfinish]

Nothing in Parke County yet. Need some warmer weather.

 

[Vamptepes]

Our red bud tree has good buds on it now and our cherry tree blooms are opening. Hoping the season will start this week,

 

[cavskillz]

Rain this week mostly and sunny and 70's it looks like for next weekend. May be popping up then...

 

[Michigan Slim]

Just hit my go-to spot. Nothing up yet. Mayapples just popping up now. By the end of the week, I'd wager.

 

[indyjohn]

Need the 24 hour temps to be consistently warmer. Moisture is good, so far.

 

[yote hunter]

I hope I time it right will be gone for 10 days to Gulf Shores then come home and hit the woods for some shrooms and crappies that we caught 4/12 "Sunday".. After cleaning the crappies we ended up with 15lbs of meat...

I am going to be going on Saturday when I get home! I am super pumped to get out for them!

 

[SAILORGOLF46]

Took a short walk in a central Morgan County woods and the may apples are up and open. Still a little early for mushrooms but it felt good to be in the woods.

 

[Leadeye]

Went out today, found nothing.

Went out today, found nothing.

You could make it a little more dramatic..
