I hunt some in Giles, but mostly in Montgomery co. around Bburg. I know a few folks who have already been finding 'em around here. I'm going out this afternoon and I'll report back what I find.
Try stony creek up on the hill behind the post office used be a saw mill up there years ago up behind there it flatten out to the left they were always a lot of greys supposed to rain some tonight if I could make it over ther tomorrow that's were I would be
Nice finds barndog. My spots were looking really dry yesterday in Bburg, so no morels. Going to look again today at some spots with more creeks/moisture.
I looked today up Wolf Creek in spots I had never hunted before trying to stumble upon a new patch. No luck. White ones are not up yet and the blacks are very scattered.
Found 9 yesterday in Bburg... All were pretty small and a few were dried up. I left them overnight and will check back today. I ran out of daylight and didn't get to look everywhere I wanted. Going back out this afternoon.
Then I went up Wolf Creek this evening and found these monsters. 22 Merkels weighed 1 pound 3 ounces. They were very scattered and it took a lot of walking but I think it is going to be good year.
This weekend? Have a wife that's never tried one, and a son that's never found one. Too far from home where my spots are, and can't seem to find one here (williamsburg). Already put in about 100-120 miles worth of looking
Awesome finds, Barndog. I'm not having as much luck as you, but consistently getting a dozen or so each day for the past week before I run out of day light. This whole job thing is messing up my mushroom hunting. I'm heading out now in the rain myself.
I went yesterday and only found a few. I think the season is coming to a end in my area. I would look in the highest elevation possible. The few I found were 1/3 way up the mountain and as I worked my way down the mountain I found less and less till I was at the creek level and found none where I generally find them. Nothing good lasts forever......
Well, I've found 100+ over the last few days. Found exactly 50 yesterday. I found a huge 8in tall yellow that had been up for a while and then in the same area, find brand new ones just popping up...weird. I did find a few reaching the end of the life cycle though, so it may be winding down in my area too. But who knows...possible rain this evening and warm temps might stretch things out a while longer.
I still haven't left my main spots to search at higher elevations. A friend of mine did and had some success earlier this week. Hoping to get up there this weekend.
That sounds great. I hope they keep going thru this coming week.
Let's see some pics!
