Walking past a stand of dead elms last night, I thought I heard one snort. Must have been my imagination.

That's how they inflate themselves.

I went scouting for a while this afternoon. The migration hasn't even started in this area as of yet.

A MONTH? Oh, man, I have terminal cabin fever NOW. Office fever.
Maybe we could ask the state legislature to move morel season ahead 30 days to mid-March.

If you can't wait, you could look for oyster mushrooms. There is a species that grows all winter. Have found large amounts of it in the past. It grows large, I've picked'em 12" in diameter. There are a couple of other winter 'shrooms but I've forgotten what they are and am too lazy to look 'em up.

Micus, which of the fungus field guides do you recommend?

The one I use the most is "National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms". It is as good as any I have seen for identification and is a convenient sized guide (4" x 8.5"x 1.5") to carry in the field. I always identify a new edible using at least 3 sources before trying them. There are some newer books out there that are quite good to use as alternates. A good web source is MushroomExpert.com
