Ain't seen nary a one - not that I've put in a lot of time at it.

No one else is bragging about their finds. A real bad sign!

The lilacs are blooming so shrooming is pretty much over.

I've never heard that one, but now you really peaked my interest

I was hoping to get one more shot. I think the lilacs were blooming back in March around here when we had a week or so of 80 degree temps, which is unheard of.

We don't even start looking until June here.

Thats about typical for here too Todd. Mothers day at the earliest has usually been the rule of thumb.
But like I said that week plus...of 80 degrees temps back in March triggered bass to spawn, trees to bud, mushrooms to grow...
Now I'm wondering if it's going to be over.
You guys really have them up there?

Yipper, we have Grays and Black Morels. We have some of thos eother high dollar fungas too, but I don't go looking for them.

Went out hunting this morning. Couldn't find a one.

She musta broke loose. They were selling em outta pick up trucks in main street parking lots down by the river over the weekend.

A guy came into work today and said he had six pounds he wanted to sell.
I wonder if someone found my spot

Found your spot? Get out there & find out!

How much do they sell for up your way? No one around here sells them, but I saw some a couple of years back in Indiana for $15 a pound.

Last year I think they were selling for $20 a pound, if I remember right.
This year, like I mentioned earlier in the post they are selling them for $32 a pound. I'm guessing once they start really popping the price will come down but I dont know for sure.
I dont plan to buy any, not at either price
