It is true. Mushrooms do most of their growing before dawn. Get there before the insects and herbivores.

Early morning = less maggots





I don't understand how this can be true.

Can you help me understand what you are saying here?




As illogical as it seems, I have found that when I hunt eary morning the fruits have less bugs in than when I hunt mid day-evening.

So do the bugs leave at night and come back?

Quote:

The Practical Mushroom Encyclopedia *:
It may seem surprising, but time of day is most important to the mushroom collector. This is because mushrooms grow almost exclusively during the hours of darkness. As a result, the best specimens are picked when they are fresh early in the morning before the rising temperature of the day has brought out the flies to lay their eggs, so giving rise to insect infestation, or the animals of the woods and fields have had their pickings of the overnight growth, which can be quite amazing in its quantity.



* Jordan, P. & Wheeler, S. (2011) Hermes House (not an especially brilliant book but it has its uses)

Also, if you ever cut the stem to look for little holes up to the cap, you will quickly notice that there are far more as the day progresses!

I see. So you mean mushrooms that came out that night.

Hmmm. Ok.

Is there any proof of this night time growing? I have never heard that
mushrooms grow during the night more than the day.

This would seem an unlikely attribute to put on all species as well.

I have my own observations and a source, that is all.

When I started going out early it was a breakthrough in terms of finding lots of mushrooms in good nick.

Geoffrey Kibby was the consultant on that book, and I don't think he would put his name on it if it wasn't well supported.

So I feel I am benefiting from that info. But :shrug:.

Lol! I would think they just burrow into the gills at night and come out in the morning sometime :shrug:

I wouldn't say they leave but the next batch of eggs is not going to be laid. Especially as the mushroom has just grown a lot, it is likely to be more visible.

I can back this up, I only go in the morning and I'm done and back home by 10. It takes an hour to drive each way but I pick a load every time I go around 7am compared to at night and evening. Less bugs as well.

5. Do not make threads or posts discussing or reporting the weather.
This includes complaining about the weather, asking if the current weather is "good for shrooms", or how long to wait after rain fall to go hunting.
As a general rule of thumb, if it has rained within the last 1-10 days, and the temperatures are correct for the type of mushroom you're looking for, and the time of year is correct then it is very likely that the mushroom you are looking for is growing.
