TD, I'd like to know that too. I have no idea, other than watching some day by day . I'm pretty sure there are folks here who could give some good input on this .

The ones I have watched around here do not get bigger. They grow bent over just below the surface and when ready, they pop up straight and are as big as they are going to get.

They will grow if they have moisture enough.

Last year had a yellow pop up right next to the back door. I left it there and never picked it because I was always curious on how fast they can grow. It gained a little bit of girth and stayed there for about a week or so before it dried out on its own.

About 6 years ago I was turkey hunting and as the sun came up I noticed I was sitting in a patch of 100+ of 1" yellows. I didn't pick any that morning, and went to the same spot the next evening hoping that they had grown to "picking size". There wasn't a single one left. This was in a narrow clear cut strip through a small patch of woods where they had put in an underground gas line at one time. I'm guessing a flock of turkeys or deer walked up that clear cut and had a meal.

Went out to bid a beaver job today and walked past dozens along a right of way along the pond areas. If I wasn't worried about my job security I would have stopped and picked a mess of them. Some were 6" and better.

Yes they do grow if the conditions are right. I usually leave the small greys and come back a week or more later for them when they get to be nice yellows. If it gets hot/windy it will dry them up quick

Wow! Nice haul! Was there a pattern to where you were finding them?
