I'll start it off this year. Few small young hens. They were already starting to dry out and really no rain in the forecast so I harvested them. Also found a few pawpaws. I call that a good evening out. Area was about 15 or so miles east of Pittsburgh. It's still really dry in the woods.

Should be good next week with the rain from the hurricane this weekend and cooler temps!

Gave it 3 days from the start of the rain Saturday. Thought maybe a few buds at least. Completely skunked. Will be up on the Laurel ridge this weekend. Maybe there will be something up there. It's usually a later season though. Who knows.....

Out on Saturday. Was late to the game I bet by only a couple hours on 2 that I found last year, already harvested. Checked a few other spots and nothing- not a single mushroom of any kind anywhere. As an indirect search I check craigslist this time of the year for people selling hens, none for sale within a 50 mile radius. There are usually 2 or 3 ads. I think most places are just too dry lately.
