Prepping for another 2 foot of snow this weekend. Don't expect them for awhile yet
Don't do anything you don't want to explain to the paramedics. I do appreciate a good story tho.

pay attention to your lilacs. when the blooms start to crack open and you can see the hint of blue the blacks should be up. once the blooms are done the season is over. i have yet to find a plant that better "brackets" the mushroom season.

Good advice.....a jingle that is kinda a joke but usually true is "When the lilacs are bloomin it's time to go shroomin"!!! Usually the nice tans are poppin around here big time. The little ones (really little sometimes) are usually before the lilacs bloom and then there are the Giants. Usually at the end of season for sure!! pay attention to your lilacs. when the blooms start to crack open and you can see the hint of blue the blacks should be up. once the blooms are done the season is over. i have yet to find a plant that better "brackets" the mushroom season.
Remember "Forbidden Fruit makes many Jams"

never heard the lilac thing before. I'll start watching mine and see how ti goes.
when the mayapple show up (this past friday) i start to get the urge, and it seems the poplar leaves are about the size of a golf ball to palm sized when the season is really getting started. they aren't their yet.
we had good weather saturday, but it turned colder sunday, colder still today....and again tomorrow. then some warmer temps.

They would be buried under a foot of snow around here.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

All I can say is yummmmmmm....hopefully we have a season here in Michigan if the snow ever leaves...
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

My little grays have remained little grays. They have never become yellows. I have let them go so long that they have dried up and withered, and they never grew. That has been my results too.45 years of chasing schrooms and a gray is a gray.
It ain't easy being easy

A gray is an immature yellow. Cover it and give it time to mature (yellow in color).
