Time of day?

Heya,
I live in Australia and have never gone hunting before..
Our weather has been very strange lately, our summer was nothing like all the other summers I’ve experienced, very cold.
So the season has started early...
Last night the temp dropped to around 7 degrees Celsius and today is supposed to reach around 23 degrees.
From what I’ve heard, 7 degrees with no frost and after rain = a good chance of mush...
I however live an hour and twenty minutes away from this location, and have to work to 5.15pm.. So i will arrive and start hunting roughly at 6:30pm
The Sun sets at roughly 7:45pm today. Will i still have a chance? should i hunt in this forest on the side that the sun sets, if possible?
Thanks in advance =)

Throw in some astronomical data about the sun's current position and top universities could put that in their exams.
Good luck!

If you're searching for cold loving species I doubt very much that they'd be out now. They need consistent cool temperatures and rain. We haven't had these yet.
May is the time they(Psilocybe subaeruginosa) start to fruit.
Also, mushrooms do not care what time of day it is or where the sun is located in the sky. They take days to grow from a small pin to a fully mature mushroom. This gives you ample time to find them. They do not vanish with the daylight, this is a myth.

I thought they'll hang out in their habitats in the early morning hours when it's nice and cool and then just booger off to the pub for a cold brewski once it gets too hot during the day. This whole mushroom affair is getting stranger and stranger, I tell ya.

You must be talking about the Great Subaeruginosa Pub Crawl.
I hear those are messy.

It all makes sense now, bar fights always leave me with blueish bruising too!

It has been a weird summer. It seems likely that we'll get an early season this year, be not quite this early.
It's true that mushrooms can't tell time, but there is some relation between mushroom growth and the sun's location in the sky. Not in the time of day sense though. South facing slopes recieve less direct light and retain more moisture, especially when the sun it at a low angle over winter.
