Did every shroomer die?

No Ant we are just in stasis. Not only are there not any morels out there, there are no mushrooms of any kind right now. I saw a few sort of old stale Oysters today. Still gives us a reason to roam around in the woods for a few hours each day. By the way, the location is southeastern Tennessee. Heck it's just still winter no matter how bad we want it to be spring.
I'm with ya Ant. I can't take it any longer, every morning I'm crossing the days off my calender. The last eight days I have been caring for my sisters 3 girls since she had some problems going on. As hard as it was with a house full of little ones it sure did seem to go by fast. I'm also wondering why this board isn't alive right now like in past years.
I have been seeing signs of spring around here almost everywhere I look, daffodils are up but not in bloom yet and almost every tree I look at has buds. As much as I can't stand it anymore you think I would be looking forward to a early season but to me it seems like with every early season they all have there problems, hot to quickly, lack of rain, or a short season. So I'm really hoping for a normal season this year. I have looked at accuweather's long range forcast and for the next 30 days it's showing lower then average or just about average temps for the most part of it but I know those can change at any time. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Other then that my bag is packed and ready to go. Got the mesh sacks (waiting on one I just ordered from ebay to come in has handles, pull string and is pretty good size 18" by 16" I believe for just a few dollars) gps with fresh batteries, bug spray, bright orange shirt just incase theres hunters out, my pepper spray since it's normally my mom, daughter and me out there, pocket knife and my harpoon aka epipen. Thats what my hubby calls it and a few other things.

Not use to new format yet. Finally got registered. Not sure why no posts have been made on main Ohio board since 11/2012? Just posted a test today to make sure my login works. Very surprised that nothing yet on the first Morel find. Last year something was posted in early February. Morel wasn't bigger than a penny but it was a morel. Next week is MARCH already!!!
At least we have had snow/moisture this winter.

Hey y'all, Anyone check out the snowfall totals for northern lower peninsula. Lots of snow, should be a banner year in Mi. for morels.
I don't think every shroomer has died, but after the crumby season last year here in Ohio......anything is possible. Michigan is a great state for finding morels, too bad its like a religion up there. I would be extra careful if you are out hunting and have a car with an out of state plate....Tennessee mountains have been my calling for the past 2 years. Its a little farther but not that many people seem to be hunters there. Its a beautiful area plus I've got free room and board with my homies.....not to mention you are eating morels before everyone in OH and MI!
In the past I have noticed that "good" years seem to be every other year so this year has got to be better than last! Give it a few more weeks and someone will be posting pics of a black that is barely bigger than a spore...
