Best looking fruits of the season

My best so far...



Are we going hunting this season or are you going to ignore me?  lol

This guy was a little gone and went into the mulch bed..



Other than pluteus, this was the only other mushroom I saw.



And some California Poppy (I think):



This was on Monday the 11th.

I guess that's fitting with memorial day coming up. 

Got up to our SEPA spot yesterday. Was a long day hiking around with some friends. Everyone was able to find some really nice fruits.  Most were white with long stems (3.5" average with longest stem 5"), and found growing mostly in the grass/marigold/nettle.  Out of those 3 I'd have to say the marsh marigold is my least favorite to look thru. If you are able to see one poking out then it's usually beneficial to dig thru it.  Otherwise I tend to leave it be and stick to the areas with stilt grass.  It'd be nice to see huge logs fruiting, but I know that won't happen until we get the needed rain.  But here's some shots of what I came across

Nice finds! But dude... you're in hallowed Caerulipes territory, ever consider hunting for them?

---

I'm actually in Bmore, but yes I have been considering them for a couple years now.  We had just taken a trip to Southern WV and then, on a whim, drove further NW before heading back home.  Just wanted to put our territory finding skills to the test and also enjoy the west appalachia scenery for a day longer.  I'm hoping it's not an elevation thing with them, but now we have a good reason for another road trip in a couple months.

Nice! Is that this years?  We haven't had a chance to check DC area.  Looked further up the river with no luck.  I would like to know how far up they go.  Hell, I really just need to locate the one's supposedly in my county. It's a timely risk to go somewhere new though when you already know where they are and how they grow there.

Sure do like those nipply SE Pa. finds...they're very sexy...lol.
Here are some Balto. Cty. finds from yesterday...On some of the pics...you can actually see the lesser celandine dying and even rotting...allowing the long stemmed ovoids to poke through.

Did you really find those somewhere right near me? That's really cool! I've thought about but never checked out around the city limits.  I do have a couple ideas where to look though.  On a side note, I think I was confusing the celandine for marigold.

How long before these will be printable?  I've tried a few that looked like that with fail and waiting longer the slugs get em.  They are the sole survivors.  BTW I hope I'm not making them blue like that by pouring water on them.

Yeah, I thought so....the lesser celandine flowers yellow in early spring and has around 8-12 petals on each flower. This shit has covered all my prime spots in the last couple years...I think last years floods redistributed it all throughout the flood plains. They have little "bulblets" on their stems that enables them to reproduce like crazy. The only good thing is that it dies off early (around now).

Anyway, they are around for sure....started finding them fruiting in debris piles tonight...lots of little pins and die-offs from the lack of moisture....If we get a couple days of steady rain....watch out! I'm done for the spring for all intents and purposes....going on a fly fishing trip in northern Pa for a week and won't be back until after Memorial day....they're typically gone by then. I'm gonna try a dose ...alone and deep in the woods. I try to do this every year.....so Good luck to everyone out there for these last couple weeks !
