Since last summer I noticed a lot of herbs and mushrooms bloomed earlier than normal, starting with the goldenrod. I even found a lions mane much sooner than normal~ makes me wander if morels will come early. All this rain, butter cups already sprouting here in North Alabama. Thoughts~

Nice to see you found some judymoon. Its pretty much over for southern Metro Bham. No evidence of fruiting since around March 21,22.. only chance to find any would be on a really sharp northern slope, but for me, im done. My billy goat skills have diminished being in the mid 50s. Ended up with 78 morels, or about 2.25lbs.good news is going to Peoria,ill for an 8-10 day hunt with Father. Usually best around april 25-may 5 there. Of course we will let the season progression and weather dictate our exact timing.. wont pound this ( Ala ) board with illinois finds; but i ll try to get a few pics up in here.. GLTA

Good Morning @newtimmy
Well...we've all followed your Hunt...sounds to all of us like You had a Good time..
Loving The Hunt, and Time in the Woods..
I've Always been Happy just being out there Every year, in the same woods where My Daddy first Carried Me in With him 58 years ago..
I don't always find Hundreds, but all the Memories are always found again every year.
I hope You and Me can manage some time to Hunt together when You are up in Peoria IL.
But it's best to focus on Time with your Dad..
Not Me and You Hunting together..
Still; if it becomes Convenient We should..
Thank You for All of your Excellent Reporting to All of Us, at least We had another year Hunting together online here together with Everyone.
🍄🦅❤Love The Hunt❤🦅🍄
from,
Wade 🤠

Leaving illinois now, best days were 4/27 ( pictured ) … 4/29 was similar.. 13 days, 9 lbs.. I walked 70 miles. More impressive, my 80 yr old father got 45 miles in. Fun trip, now waiting for March in Alabama to get the fun rolling again. Wade, we got wore down and didnt make it over to Indy. Good luck hunting the rest of your adventures
