Rain

The only thing I know for sure that will be out there in a pine forest in a few days is red-capped Leccinums. Soil under needle duff retains moisture very well. Chicken and beefsteaks should make more appearances as well. Weather is still very warm here...who knows, maybe hens will come back.

I have only found a couple baby hens and trees that produced several last year have produced nothing. It's still early for me compared to last fall,I was later in October finding hens but I am further south than most of you guys.

After couple decent rains in southern NJ I went to check few places where I usually find hens, honeys, suillus, red cap Leccinum in October. Came home empty. Just few wormy Suillus and couple white mushrooms I will put on identification forum. This year I saw unusually high number of hens and honeys around mid September. May be that’s it? May be they will not show up again in October? I still see old, disintegrating hens here and there but no new one.

I think that in my case, there was so little rain over the summer (it didn't rain for about 2 1/2-3 months) that it didn't allow for any underground growth over the summer. We just got 6 inches of rain over the course of a couple weeks and there are very few hens when they should be blowing up....we'll see what the next few weeks bring.

Found a good sized hen last Friday ,no bugs but it was very tough and not edible,I tried to eat it.. It must have popped when during the dry spell . Hopefully I get to go in the next few days...been awhile.
