Well I made several more trips out, a couple in Scott, Owen, Franklin county and somewhere else, I forget… the flora looked good, mayapples up, most elms are blooming etc but the only fungus I found was some pheasant back pins and some oysters that were dry and the deer already got them… lots of gallerinas, a few devil urns and a few others.
I was planning to go out today too but apparently my body wanted some rest, I woke with a start at noon with alarm set for 8am 🤷.
All my spots are consistently late… never found a black morel… I’m trying to decide whether I should try around Louisville/e town or if I should head south on 75 towards somerset or maybe McKee. 3-4 hours round trip drive time kinda puts a damper on things… especially when it’s just a scouting trip.
That wind did a good job of drying everything back out after that rainy stretch.
I know to hunt the south slopes early since they’re usually warmer. Do you guys hunt the bottoms early or ridges? I’ve never had much success on ridges anyway and I usually think the valleys get hotter but I know that at least some valleys also get way cooler at night with the cool air sweeping down into them.

I can tell you ain't nothing im seeing around henry or Carrol County either except pheasants back I haven't even seen oysters but like 10lb of pheasants back for mushroom seasoning is still something.... starting to believe morels are a myth
I did however make 4 2 liter bottles of spore slush with the pheasants back tho gonna hit some favorite hiking spots .... a few Rouge gardens ive planted this year looked good too for some fungus

Keep the posts going Rick. Glad we have your input of what’s going on out there. Congrats on the turkey too!

I couldn’t believe it but I found Mayapples up and buckeyes leafing out yesterday in Western Ky. We may be in for an early mushroom season!

I hope so iam waiting.
