What’s going on?!?
I’ve been two three pastures within the last week looking for actives and it’s been bone dry. I don’t understand because we had a rise in humidity and nice rain. The conditions seem right, I don’t seem to understand. I haven’t even seen non actives.

cubes don't just grow just because there's animals present. you're either not looking in the right pastures, or if it's that dry, it may not be raining at that particular pasture. florida weather is weird like that sometimes. find a pasture with good moist soil and lots of inactives...that's a good indicator fungus likes the growing conditions. start there.

Hey Kinoko,
Thanks for the reply.
I understand that cubes don’t grow just because there’s animal present. these fields are usually filled with mushrooms inactive and active. The conditions seems right that’s what I just don’t understand.

then you need to learn to be patient. we've had a long dry spell. thing take time to start back up sometimes. look for a different pasture that is producing in the meantime.

So I went out collecting poop the other day and found one lonely Cubensis. Found some non active pans but no blue meanies yet. I’ll keep everyone posted

nice! i knew that rain would do us some good. i hit my favorite pasture the other night, and the owner had done massive construction...ripped down fences, cut down trees, and tore up huge sections of the field. guess i'm down my best pasture this year 😒
still waiting for some to pop up in my yard. i switched the donkeys and goats to a mix with oat several months ago hoping that would boost the production some. we'll see!!

Generally At The Beginning Of The Season The First Few Or So Good Rains Are Getting Things Ready By Moisturizing The Manure. Then Spores Germinate, Then Mycelium Grows & Thrives For Awhile, Then Sends Out Fruits.
The Season Is Very Early My Friend, Give It Some Time, Be Patient & Keep Looking, It Will Pay Off

The weather has been teasing me down here. Gets very cloudy, breezy all day, then nothing. Or, it rains for 5 minutes max in the middle of the night.

it depends on your recent rain pattern. if you've had a month and no rain, then a storm, you're not going to see much unless you get more storms over the next week or two. if you've had several storms over the last couple weeks and this is just another, i'd go out two days later. mushrooms don't grow overnight. they take about 5-10 days from pin. moisture evaporation produces pins. iow, rain, then dry a day or 2, then rain....and so on.
also, look for lots of inactive mushies. if you see nothing inactive from the road or fence, you're wasting your time looking for actives.
tampa is a great spot!! you should have NO problem finding anything....if you've had any of the weather i've had a couple hrs north of you lately, you should certainly be able to easily pull an oz or 2 in the right pasture. i prefer east tampa in cow/horse country, rather than coastal, personally 😉

This next week should be rain almost every day for central Florida/ Orlando area at least. Been a long time coming. Can't wait to see what treasures it brings
