Shrooming!!!!

[datIANguy]

It's that time of year again and I CANT WAIT!!!!!! Do any of you research on the net to find out if they're finding em???? I loosely track it, but the whole "you can't post anything on the internet that isn't true" (sarcasm) kills me!!!

Morel Mushroom Report

Check that link out!!! It gives me a rough idea as to when I should start going!

Didn't even think of this yesterday! I had to go look at a bunch of land along the Wabash River, mix of woods and farm fields. Should have done a more detailed inspection of the wooded fringe.

I just want to get out into the woods and away from the city. Mushroom hunting would only be a plus.

I do really well here on my land. I get 6-7 plus pounds most years. My buddy has an even bigger area. We have hunted it the last 2 years. We probably got 20 last year. I am so ready!! It will be at least 2-3 weeks before I see any here. Some times as late as the first week in May.

Is it wrong that I automatically thought of "magic mushrooms" when I saw the title of the thread?

Lots of folks just throw on the old hiking boots and just prounce around in the woods hoping by dumb luck to stumble upon a nice mushroom, that's all wrong. These shrooms ain't dumb people. They see you coming a mile away. If you want to get serious about finding some nice mushrooms, then get GET SERIOUS:

About the ime the Honeysuckle starts to bud out is when I start seeing them. They run better later and I find a bunch under umbrella plants toward the end.

 

[Leadeye]

My neighbor who always does a lot better than I do hunting mushrooms went out today, I'll have to ask him what's up.

 

[Bfish]

Let us know leadeye... I hoping that it holds off a couple weeks till things get good when I can get home and go!

The redbuds ain't budding and flowering, I.e. not mid-end April. Don't get too excited by finds you read about, these things take time to grow. In prime conditions they only grow around 1\2 an inch a day. The conditions just started getting right for oysters to be growing, the morels usually follow at least 2weeks after that. If your north of Bloomington its usually closer to the end of April before you'll see morels.

Also to any early hunters, please take care while walking. If you squash them before they grow you don't get too far.

I used to work with a guy that went out at night with nightvision to hunt mushrooms. He seemed to do pretty well. I'm not from IN but have lived here a while. I'm never had a morel mushroom. Please don't hate me.

The may flowers ain't up yet and starting to bloom so its gonna be a week or two here. Last year it was april 10th but the cool nights will hold them off.. Need the warmer nights and some more rain...

Why did he do that? I feel like that would be harder than during the day, but I could be wrong as they wouldn't blend with the leaves as well... But it sounds to me almost like a guy who would do that so he could go places he wasn't supposed to.

I normally wait til the nights are in the 50's to start. This week may be the start of the season the way the temps and weather is supposed to be. I think i'll try middle of the week and see if I find anything.

I knew I was doing something wrong. Btw, Jomibe, that's me standing behind ole "shroom face" disguised as a tree....you thought you dropped that beauty, but it was me doin'a reach around.

Yes, if you were born anywhere around here.

Mid to upper 70's and lows in the upper 50's and lower 60's the next 4 days with rain off and on all week... might have some start to pop by this weekend.
