My secret where the mushrooms are...

[Copycatted]

No matter how chilly or rainy it gits as predicted no odds about it,you can find them now along railroad tracks. At least I found enough this week to have not only had my fill of them but gave some to a friend and an super majority of them planned for both family and an pot luck organization as my carry in dish this week-end.

It's been said tell someone you have a secret that you've already given half the secret away so as to JUST WHERE I found them all (a plastic shopping bags worth) though they all were found with in an stones throw of the railroad tracks where I went should peak any's interest who've not been finding them in the woods (in which I haven't yet either).

THANK YOU so very much!!!!!
Much to my disappointment, I haven't been able to find any mushrooms for a really long time. And yet it is mushroom season and I am really craving me some mushrooms. I am just going to have to try your advice

Hubby and the in-laws have found a decent amount, but not like they normally do. You would think they'd be more plentiful than what they have found. I have a picture of our youngest son from about 6 years ago that we had put in the Albion paper where he was holding the biggest mushroom I've ever seen. I'm sure it's not the largest ever found around here, but it was a huge one! Hubby read that you can find a lot of them around dead elm trees, though he has yet to find one of those where he hunts for them.

From Don Mulligan's column today:

Most years, mid-May signals the final days of mushroom hunting season. Hot, dry weather arrives by then, and are a mushroom’s enemy. By June, the only mushrooms typically left in the woods are dry and not fit for human consumption.
This year, morels arrived late. Mushroomers believe that means they will last a little longer.

If you go south from Campus TSUenviroscigirl to the Fox Lake Road overpass and just to the left about 50 yards is where I found my first bunch and nobody beats you to it after this divulging but point being I think they do pop-up over night. Revisted a place where I found my biggest bunch (one would of cast a shadow on a Bud,or I mean pop can-smiles) and found one right there in plain site,hmmm,so they MUST just pop up. Found maybe half a dozen others that I might of just missed,don't know,never found them is such over-growth like that...but good luck and may the science be with you cause last I read,science can't reproduce them

Can relate to not finding them where they normally do. As in James post we still got time I think. Have an woods that is dead elm tree paradise. But as for giving up THAT place it's worth being an secret keeper but as for these of late,yes,there were many but between that and the SIZE of them made me an history year,even if I don't make it out again. Ha,and my Dad and buds used to go to Michigan for those kind of finds...

Okay, it has been a very long time since I looked for mushrooms. I own 16 acres of woods right behind my house. If someone would please take the time to teach a rookie how to look for mushrooms, I would surely appreciate it. Best times, where to look and any other words of wisdom would be appreciated. Just a question on the train tracks-is there a reason that would be a good place, just curious.
Thank you in advance for your kindness.
