Pike county pa… check my early elm spots today. Maybe 25 seen in total. All only about an inch tall. Hopefully the coming rain will get them ready for harvest in the next week or so.

I’m in the poconos.. it hasn't started yet here. You’re only a couple hours south. Things are just getting going where you are. Will likely get going after the warm temps the next week along with the rain. April 24th is the earliest I have ever found a morel

Been a very good chant year. I have a couple pounds growing right in my yard. Went out a few times with them as a target. Came home with many pounds each time. Black trumpets plentiful as well.

Out for an hour today after all the recent rain. More black Trumpets than I have ever seen, massive chants and B Separans … all plentiful right now

Thanks for the reply Dave, hope you’ve been well. I agree with your proposal .. I have also seen a lot of these around the last couple weeks. I could have probably harvested 5 lbs yesterday. Have you consumed Xanthoconium purpureum? They smell exactly like B separans to me. Spore printed yielded a golden brown color on foil

Found in mixed hardwood predominantly oak. Cap is a brick red color and pores are a light cream to white. No bruising on tubes or flesh .. not seeing reticulation on the stem though. Was hoping Boletus subcaerulescens.. but not confident on that ID. Did find lots of B. separans today though.

Old man of the woods is a bolete (polypore) . I see gills on this one. Not old man of the woods IMO

Looks like young Bondarzewia berkeley to me. Let’s see what others have to say though

That time of year is finally upon us! Been impatiently waiting. Got out today and check my ramp spots. With the warm weather coming morels shouldn’t be far behind 😁🤙

Yes that’s is a hen

Went out yesterday for just a few hours. 4 perfect hens and plentiful honeys.. guess those last few days of rain finally paid off.

Hey man, just letting you know I decided to check a hen spot today and got a perfect specimen 👍.. there is still some hope.

I wish I could say things exploded but that’s certainly not the case in NEPA. I haven’t found anything desirable. Hoping for a better season next year. Very nice haul Kevin! I’m very jealous. I normally harvest about 5 lbs of lilac bolete (Seperans) in my yard. Have some white pine spots normally loaded with painted suillius and zero this year. Same thing with honeys, hens, chants, etc. nothing! Worst year ever for me

Some kind of lactarius

Wow! Saying a prayer for the same thing to happen here! Impressive haul I stand corrected. I did find some chickens recently. Other than that absolutely nothing. Hoping for consistent weekly rain. Maybe we’ll get lucky
