Well new to this site and I see that there are not alot of CO reps, but looking for some starter info on the west slope. Just moved to Cedaredge and I know the little boogers grow over here, but have no idea when and where to start. It took me three years in the fort Collins area to pin them down but I got to the point I could easily pick ten pounds a day for about three weeks with a couple pounds for a couple weeks on either side of that. Anyone care to share when is a good time and if its worth it to look low along the rivers and likewise in the aspen stands on the flanks of the Mesa. Is it worth looking on top of the Mesa or the Pondo stands on the Uncompahgre. Does the Gunnison sprout spores in the dead lodge pole. 3.5 million acres seems like a huge area to dissect and hit the time just right in all the different ecosystems and elevations. If any one on the front range around Fort Collins want to swap a starter spot for the Delta area I can extend the same offer for over there in the ******* area
