South GA shroom hunting this weekend!

Well I am going over to a friends house this weekend, and we will be hanging out and exploring the woods out here He has a pond and some creeks right by his house, he also has TONS of woods around him. I plan to look for Gyms near the creek, if I am correct that is the main habbitat for them and dead trees are good for them too. But what I am wondering is what other strains/species should I look out for when exploring mother nature

Its rained in GA a fair amount lately but its really kind of cold still, so you may not find much. Aside from gyms you should do a search on this site for the active shrooms by state list. GA has a moderate amount of them, many rare.

I'm new to the forums and hunting and I'll be hunting this weekend as well. Hopefully we'll both find something we're looking for.

The first link in when you type in "morels" is exactly the information you're looking for.

You would have much, much more luck hunting for cubensis in a cow field if you are in south georgia.

Well you can't just give up after checking one field. Check ten fields at a minimum.

I live in northish GA, if you can't find cow fields look for stables, even where i live which is fairly densely populated there are fields frequented by horses.
I went hunting in the woods friday after all that rain, found some medium brown mushrooms with concave up caps and fibrous hollow stems, a couple of the shelf types that you see dried up all over dead wood, and some very small LBM inside a hollow rotten log. Nothing active though. once it warms for a little longer hopefully i'll have some luck

I am going to upload pics tomorrow afternoon, haven't had a chance to upload them lately. Good news is my friend may have found a cube patch near his house. He spotted them after I left his home while he was riding his ATV around the country. I will be going over to his house Friday/Saturday depending on what I have planed, but none the less he will be sending me a pic and I will be uping here for help identifying.
