3 days over just under 5 hours of picking yielded 20lbs. Needles to say, I'm stocked up for the summer!! :chuckle:

I found 2! Well, 1.5. Guess I need to find better spots!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

I'm finding quite a few dried up ones. My areas are about 1-2 weeks ahead of normal. Never seen it so dry that the twigs crackle as you walk in shady areas that are usually wet or have remnants of snow. Not a good sign for the upcoming fire season.  :'(

I see one comment saying they will be OK and I don't disagree.  I will say though, the father-in-law was pretty specific about his storage for these wonderful fungi delights.  He ALWAYS kept them in Brown Paper Bags, loosely together at the top and always in a dark area, never in any direct light of any kind. I can't argue the point, he made some pretty damn tasty fried mushrooms with fresh steelhead.

Not likely as they will decay with that much trapped moisture.I learned a trick along time ago.I picked alot and even with ice and letting them breath the bugs continued to eat and after a few days you would lose many of them.I put a layer of cardboard on the bottom and top of the coolers and then put dry ice over the top.The co2 will displace the air and kill all the worms and it keeps the mushrooms cold without freezing them.I hope you can get to some place that sells dry ice.Walmart & Smart Foodservice sells it.

It is hot here in the Yakima area and I heard it was very warm in the mountains yesterday. Does anyone know if a warm spell ends the season or not? I heard that a few days above 70 ends it but I have no idea. I'd like to hit it again this weekend. Thanks in advance

That is an awesome picture Bango. You should frame it with the title "Mushroom Hunter". Can I print it out for my man cave? I won't do it without permission nor would I copy/give away etc.

Hell i dont care.  Just put my rifle there for size reference.  Pic would have been better with this new stock on the rifle, but it just arrived while i was over there hunting.  As soon as im done with my spring bear hunting the gun is going to dreadi for a makeover.

Our honey hole did not disappoint. Didn't find the twelve incher, but size was still really good, especially this softball sized one.
