Sorry, had to create a few universes in my image, and take a day of rest, ya know. For dedicated shroomers who worship the woods, the karmic hereafter will be replete with endless tracts of large elms in all cyclical phases; the forest floor will host a dense web of mycelium; and tho' it required that I delve deep into my powers I've managed to create a microenvironmental stasis conducive to the perpetual fruiting of morels!
Actually, Monday was good--several hundred grays in Johnson Co. Tuesday was spent in "recovery" from a severe case of ass chafing due to Monday's 5-6 mile forage. Wednesday was spent at the hospital. Thursday I drove south to Wapello and Jefferson Counties and found conditions and shrooms at season's end. Today--northern Washington County was ON. We're at peak or just past here. Very dry. Many shrooms that have unfurled within the past week are struggling to break through the ground and are deformed, including many in moss patches. Some show initial signs of drying. Sunday will likely bring the end to it here except for north slopes and ravines.
Heading to Jones and Jackson Counties tomorrow. SWI, you sure had it made down there. Conditions were best on SW Iowa. Are you following them north? Shroomtrooper, judging from the MN board you need RAIN. Looks like it may come next week. Can you can reschedule that vacation for the following week and head south a bit? Should be awesome along the IA/MN state line in about 10 days don't you think?
Man, I'm cashed from today's deal. That was fun!
