Thread: Mushrooms are up!

Even tho we have had some sevear cold,,no stopping the mushrooms poping up. Go if you can as they don’t last long enough.

Tops of the ridge soil warms quicker than deep ravines. Sometimes I find early mushrooms on the tops,,then go back and search the deep ravines finding them. Different soils warms quicker as well as hold less moisture. Sandy soils will produces mushrooms first before thick heavy clay types soils. Different trees produces shrooms. Elm, poplar, sycamore sometimes, fruit orchards, ash,,and the loss of our ash is a trendies loss where shrooms one up around. Sometimes a combination of larger sassafras combined with larger trees might produce certain types. I sometimes find them in a pine thicket near my house. Makes no sense sometimes where they come up. Northern slopes of ridges near the crown of the peaks will hold more moisture and minerals in soils than other east west southern slopes. I seldom if ever find mushrooms in white oak groves of woods. Old growth forests are best as once woods have timber harvested out of them it changes the woods for mushrooms to come up however,,,if you hunt where shrooms have come up where timber was cut the very first year,,,the sunlight might produce an abundance the first year and then none after that. Around me, most of the woods has seen timber harvest the last number of years and it’s ruined the hunting where I used to find them. State parks old growth woods if you get there first are great spots to hunt. My nephew has a lawn mowing service and he sometimes finds them mowing grass in cemeteries and peoples lawns depending on the trees growing in places. Mushrooms are where you find them.
