gabagool Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi im writing in from Connecticut. Been mushrooming since I was a child, but strictly for hen of the woods and honeys. My dad was from Italy and those were the only ones he picked. As I grew up, I added a few different fungi to my edible list every few years. Got about 20 species I would dine on at the moment. There has ALWAYS been hens in my area every year, sometimes ridiculously abundant. After a very good black trumpet season, I begin to go into hen season. This year, since mid sept, I’ve found TWO. A small hen and an absolutely gorgeous white hen ( I’ve only found 3 in my life). if anyone is from Connecticut or bordering states, are you guys finding any this year? It was a crazy wet spring and a beautiful but dry summer around here. Is it possible the rain had THAT much effect on them? i appreciate any info. Thanks a lot!

GCn15 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yes, very possible the rain had that much effect on them. Environmental conditions are key to producing a mushroom's fruit body. If the weather doesn't cooperate or the temperature, it can shut down a season even in the most prolific areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
