GR which two counties are you hunting succesfully in? Cobb and Cherokee are my normal search area, even a little of paulding and bartow for good measure. No luck yet.
We should keep a tally of which counties finds are in and then we can make a choropleth map of the counties to try and spot patterns.

I don't want to discourage you from hunting, but I'm not expecting anything great until it rains again.
How late does weilii season normally run? I was under the impression that this is primetime. Forecast says it will rain early next week. Maybe I'll wait til next weekend before I make the long trek.
right now is prime time for the season, but it has been known to go as late as December if conditions are favorable. An old member no longer with us weiliiiiiii was getting finds halfway into December back in the year of the weilii, 2009

Not sure exactly when it ends. But there is a definite decline after the first and second frost.
Here is a pic of what I assume is a weilii. Its F'ing Insane. FYI It was not found by me nor was this picture taken by me but If I remember correctly is was found well late into the season and my theory is it sought refuge from the cold underground...?

I took those pics a couple years ago, it wasnt that cold yet when i found these but they grew in the meter boxes well past the first few frosts because the ground wasnt that cold yet.
 
I found atleast 4 meter boxes with the weilii growing in them. The picture you posted weilii nelson is the first ones i found and since they were getting no light, they almost looked like cubes they were so white. they were all super stretched due to the lack of light and some of the stipes were over 15 inches long.

I remember seeing a Weilii picture that had an actual ice cap on top of it.

Thats right it was you phish... I still have a shit-ton of your pictures saved. fascinating finds. thus far all my old patches do not produce anymore. They haven't last year and this year appears to be the same. It's crazy because these were like motherload, king koopa patches back in the day. Its all good though, its back to the drawing board.

Nelson, my cube patch did the same thing years back. I picked there for 3 years straight and always found numerous cubes. Sometimes they were bigger than dinner plates!! I was always very careful in how i picked them, cutting them off an inch from the ground and tapping the spores out of them. All of a sudden, since around 08', the field has been dead. Not one single mushroom. We did have a few major droughts and that can permanently kill a patch or field.
Actually, now that I think about it, the field died around the same time Obama took office. So, not only has the housing industry, the economy, and the National credit rating took a dive, but so has Mushroom production. Vote Romney this year and I can almost bet the mushrooms will come back in droves...

Today citricacidx joined me for a hunt. It wasn't entirely successful, but I had fun. We did discover a new spot which had fruited quite prolifically, but the fruits were all past picking, and another area where a couple past picking grew. We gathered some of them up and placed them next to some reishi that was growing among them for a photo. While we were in the woods we wondered upon numerous stacked stone piles, and some piles of stones that resembled burial plots. I'd say there was at least 30 of these structures, all in one area. I photographed some of the cooler ones. After we had pretty much decided to call it a day, just as we were about to head back in to the last stretch of woods in between the trail and my house, citric spotted a nice large fresh weilii. Picture included.
To view any of my pictures after you click on them you must type in the password "shroomery". Photobucket is a safe website, and there you can view all my weilii season photos from this year in a slideshow as well.

Ive come upon structures like this before and I think they are Creek Indian sites. They're not burials, because they did those in mounds. Some are designed to mark where gold had been buried or something else. Usually, the rocks towards the top, one will jet out in the direction of where you should go. In these pictures, one of those stacks has an arrow rock pointing in one direction which may lead you to something else. These are almost certainly Creek Indian structures.

Definitely had a great time out in weiliiinmyyard's yard. Found a lot of past picking weilii, easily 20-30 all in about a 20 foot diameter. And those stacked stones were about 5+ feet tall. Then I got all wet.
That last weilii was the last part of the walk and we had already passed the area and missed it before.

You guys are so freakin' lucky to live in an area that produces. Im in Henry County and even though Ive heard they grow here, Ive never found any. I can say first hand that Cubensis grows here in numbers, but Im not so sure about Weilii. The other day I drove all the way to Gwinnett to the river to trout fish and figured Id look around a definitly find some. Nope. I found about 6 different species of mushroom, but no Weilii. There was Sweetgums mixed with Loblolly pines and pine straw and red clay and rotting logs everywhere and not one single Weilii.
Im doing something wrong or just not looking long enough. Each time I have my drunk uncle with me, and I mean drunk. He falls everywhere and is a general asshole. So, when I slow down or walk away from him into the woods, he starts bitching. Next time, his ass is staying at home. I just dont like to go up there fishing by myself at 6 in the morning.

I'm like a cat! When the water gets really cold, there is a tree near the pond that hangs over the river and I climb across it, stand up, get some bounce off it and launch off to the other side. I stopped my more extreme stunts when I went to swing on a large branch, and as soon as my feet got level with my head the branch broke off. It landed right on my face, I landed on my back and hit my head on a rock. My buddy was with me and he laughed his ass off, I got
