It feels like it will be June before the ground temps get above 50...

I predict that it happens with a quickness this year. It's wet and gonna get wetter. The frozen ground holds the moisture. The worm will turn, and a couple of warm nights will kick things square in the ass.
I'm no Guru, but that's my take.

i agree, it's been a great winter for moisture. the crick in front of the house has been up all winter and looks great. 7 day forecast shows 2-3" more for us and some temps in the mid 50's, so hopefully winter is on it's way out.
ready to burn a few seegars in the mushroom woods out a walkin around.

I'm not saying things will happen early, but I think once it starts it's gonna get after it.

What a shame that the soil isn't about twenty degrees warmer right now.

I reckon. i ain't been home long enough to go look. 3 kids in sports, full-time job and full time job being janitor at the local brewery.
i suppose my ambitious plans were just wishful thinking..

Sleep is for the faint - sweep the brewery in the middle of the night and go find us some mushrooms in the daylight, damnit!

Back when I had in-laws, they lived near Lake Springfield. I walked some river bank on the upper end and actually found some morels. It was a good 10 to 14 days before I found any in these parts.
It's beautiful country in those parts, but I don't think I could to live in a place where good soil is at a premium.
I hope you pick 'em and eat 'em til you wanna puke !

Went looking yesterday for a bit. Found one alongside a deer trail where the leaf litter was minimal. Forecast for the next few days looks promising

Getting better, but without pics, you might as well say it was 100
I went for a walk in Parkville between games of a doubleheader Tuesday - undergrowth is getting so thick already you couldn't see much....other than the 50-11 deer tracks everywhere you looked.
Fifteen minutes of my life I won't get back.

at least you spent 15 minutes walking in the woods. I spent at least 20 trying to post a damn picture..
no turkey luck this morning, but did find another dozen shrooms.. no pics, so it was closer to 100..
