Most come from private land, with some of these areas being quite large [> 1km2]. In fact, for three of these parcels, I only managed to explore 20-30% of the total wooded areas simply because I already find plenty enough in my spots already. Few of my spots are on public land, but these usually don't produce much and are heavily sought after.
Jeepers that's a lot of land! There isn't a ton of undeveloped land in the countryside around me — most is agricultural land. I did manage to nail down about 1km2 of beautiful wooded land along a creek with several prime elms. Between the three parcels I've nailed down this year I've got >2km2 of wooded land to work all to myself and I couldn't be happier!
those are some nice ones.
and these were about 2 m away from a path-I honestly don't know how come no one managed to see them.
The second batch I found last year there was literally a mushroom growing out of the path. I ended up finding 30-40 shrooms off that. Then later in the season I was out for a walk in a park that I've never hunted because I was convinced it was too heavily hunted and lo and behold I found four less than a meter from the path! Saw em out the corner of my eye while I was walking and ended up finding 10+ more!
