Start checking around the trunks of the biggest pin oaks the first week of september (early) through oct/nov. I'd be shocked if they weren't there. With all that oak you could find some monster fruits. I'm excited for this year. Lot's of rain and wet. Lots of lightning. All the plants/trees are having a great growth year despite the moths.
Any year the trumpets do well the maitake is sure to follow.

Trumpets here are just starting up and in a nice year they'll go till mid to late September. Generally about the time all the amanitas start popping out is the start of the trumpet season.
Has it rained much where you are?

I think everyone should be planting milkweed even if only 2 or 3 plants. These plants are the only hope monarch butterflies have at recovering as well as like you said being the life center for damn near everything. Awesome pics
I've been planting milkweed for the last three years, also collecting Monarch caterpillars that I raise to adults. This year was the first time butterflies started laying eggs on my planted milkweed. Was very excited to have plants crawling with little caterpillars. I had read they have better chances of survival if left on their own vs. raising them indoors so I left them alone only to lose every single one to yellow jackets. Here's a couple pics from last year and a WI cicada on my milkweed this year.

I bet the yellow jackets shit out the microbes next years pillars need to survive... Takes time for new environments and things to work their cycles. Keep up the good work with the milkweed.

I've found over a dozen luna moth wings in gardens/driveways this year from people leaving their lights on all night. Tons of tiger moth wings. I think they often get eaten by birds.

Found this critter pondering his own reflection at a local reserve recently. Wasn't perturbed in the slightest by my presence.

I love that photo, discobean! That kind of behavior is typical for rabies, from what I have seen.
