Are the shrooms a poppin yet? I have not yet hunted these buggers in NC yet but use to all the time in Michigan. Heck we had a patch that grew in our yard every year so we just wouldn't mow that spot until they were done. Not sure how plentiful they are around here but from what I have heard they don't grow like they did in Michigan. I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck yet? I know its a bit early but should be soon right?

I think this upcoming wknd will be the start, I was tempted to go today, but i think its still a bit too early.
RTP area can be great, this season will only be my 5th year searching this area, first two years i collected hundreds, last three years have not been good, last year was better than the previous two though. I think the last few years the temps shot up too high too fast, so far the weather seems to be much more favorable this year. Check around any and all lowlands, near tulip poplars. I'll be sure to post when i find my first.

I checked a spot yesterday that has produced atleast a few (sometimes many many more) every year. I even saw some of my markers from last year, but did not see anything. I'm gonna push my start to mid-late next week, hopefully we get the rains that are forecast for every day mon-thurs.
