Shrooms

[Kermit]

Just thought i would let the iowans know that the shrooms are coming up. We found a little over a half pound over the lunch hour. Kind of small but will still taste great.

I'm thinking we need a little more humidity, or rain over here in Illinois to get them going. Everyone I've talked to has struck out so far.

Raining here now. Should be headed your way. Will try to get some pics up later.

We had CRAZY hot in March, the shrooms peeped out, the Moma nature slammed the lid. Three weeks of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below normal temps. I think the season is pretty much shut down here. It seldom comes back when this happens. Good luck to all of you!!!

Rained all night, raining right now. I'm stuck at home trying not to pass these body aches, sore throat, and head ache on to anyone at work. Maybe by Friday or Saturday I can go get some shrooms.

It is still raining here but we are going to try at lunch. Hope you get feeling better before someone else finds them all.

Going to my Aunt's on Saturday (6 acres of timber), right now I'm going to raid the back yard for worms. I suppose there should be some after 2.75 inches of rain the last two days.

Went out at lunch today and found a pound and a half. Nice yellows from 2-4 inches tall.

They are up round here too, I got a bunch of greys (13 shrooms in my favorite lil area, you know the kind, bout 1 block area an generally find 10-15 at a time everytime you go out during the season, just right for supper) and they were all bout 4 inches, quite big for greys in my experience, normally find them earlier than yellows an they are bout thumb size normally

Sure ate good
Did not find any yellows at all, almost like the season is just now getting underway, it is cooling off after couple hatter days so they might hang in for a bit longer than normal too as wet as it has been

[Kermit]

They seem to just be coming up. And you are right they ate just great. Wife made chops for dinner last night and i had about 1/2 pound of shrooms that i ate with it.

The season is terrible here. The April blizzard shut 'em down. It don't appear that they'll be back this year. My son found about half a cup day before yesterday, some still showed where the top had been frozen. Guess it's wait another year here:mad:

Went out yesterday (May 1st) found a little over 3 lbs., but some were on the old side. Now can't deceide wheither to hunt for more mushrooms or crappie.

[Kermit]

Picked another 3/4 pound today. Think the season is wrapping up. Lots of undergrowth.

went out sunday after getting back from KY lake msduann and I found about 1/2 pound at our farm just checking to see if they were up. greys fairly large ones. Monday met up with my buddy and went to his mom and pops farm, I found about 1/2 pound drank several beers and Msduann and my buddy found about 2 pounds a piece. tuesday eve went back out to buddy's farm and picked about 3pounds between my buddy and I, Last nite went back out my farm and found another 1/2 pound yeller ones this time. It rained a little bit today not sure if it was enough for more shrooms or not guess we'll find out this weekend.

I am thinking we may have another short season with the yellows

I'm with you gonna go out this weekend and see if they aren't popping up with the lil bit of rain we got
been cool enough should not have burnt them that were up yet

[Kermit]

I think that the yeller season will be over within the week. Should be good pickin this weekend though.
