Maybe the mushies are trying to teach you something 
Anyway, I have no choice but to be humble... The mushrooms are playing tricks on me. I couldn't find any other shrooms today, even next to the small patch I discovered yesterday.
Btw koods, how did you get that precip map to work like that? I want to run it for Ohio alone. I can't figure it out.

Got out Friday to a spot I hit the Friday prior with much success.. maybe half the amount as last time, and they were harder to find (need rain).. had most luck digging around in leaves on the north side of logs in the area I’ve seen em popping all over last year.
@shroomhunts : how far away from water are you talking? I generally don’t see too much too close, usually about 100-200ft away has the bulk of them from my experience (though It’s only my 2nd season since they’ve found me)

You gotta get a feel for it, there is really no standard distance because its mostly dependent on the geography of said location. I should say, hard to explain but it has to do with the frequency of flooding, collection of woody debris, the amount of light and type of vegetation. I want to make a graphic explaining the whole thing when I get some time. A strategy I often use when in New territory is to walk perpendicular to the river until I find some, then I walk parallel to that in a sine wave type pattern. It helps to have a method instead of just randomly wandering the woods

Central Ohio. RIP. Cold, frost, and/or dry.

Hunt the habitat more than the mushroom. Uf you can put yourself in the right place should find then.
Best place for my wild finds is where the streams come down from the hills towards the Ohio River. Before it reaches the river it flattens out and there are wooded areas with lots of boxelder trees. Not swampy by right near the edge of swampy.

Yeah if they turn blue like that they probably got too cold. Ive been harvesting fruits in that condition if they’re a bit larger just because thats most of what I’m finding

I'm in a nearby area and that's also bad and I've noticed nearly all species of macrofungi that appear in this time of year are dramatically less obvious than is typical. Things like dryads, jellies, Panaeolina, and Panaeolus are all why less common than is usual. I've seen a few wine caps, but not many. Recent rains seem to really matter.

I think that makes sense and I would read it! Once I found them in debris 80ft from water I've been zigzagging. A lot of work for one person to find new spots but I consider myself somewhat of hiker so all good. Not having much more luck yesterday and today... not for lack of amazing habitat. (Just saddens me how much trash gets washed up here). Think I may take it a bit easier til the next big rain. I suspect things will pop off tail end of May up here.
When you go back to sights within a year or year to year are the mushrooms fruiting in the EXACT SAME spot or shift around to adjacent mycelium patches? My guess is the answer is both.

Three years in a row the same exact spot has produced for me.

Have you been able to teach others to hunt [almost] as well as you think you do?
In a lot of domains, there's a method to success from working to get as many real world observations as you can and then using that develop an intuition. Getting too hung up on particular models or particular aspects/parameters can hinder developing that kind of intuition.

I'm a migraine sufferer and I think this is the most positive indicator I've heard in a while (not wishing her a migraine, tho...). Some of us can feel a shift in a barometric pressure, though 90% accuracy sounds a tad generous to me.

Exactly. Hardly any wine caps or agricybes
The worst is just enough rain to get a path fruiting but not enough to sustain it and it craps out. It’s just depressing to see all the dried up little clusters

I think the hardest part with teaching others is the learning curve of safely being able to identify all the mushrooms they encounter. I can teach people to hunt but they lack the sheer dedication to ever pull anywhere close to what I'm getting. Spoting them this time of year can be a challenge with the taller grass and vegetation, if you are in the right spot and you don't see any you are probably just stepping on them.

Hey, it was better than nothing! I'd still really like to see a big Spring downpour.
I appreciate your offering to let us know if it's going to rain. I'll try to not enjoy it too publicly!

Northern OH doesn't look that great after all. Minimal rain forecasted and it's actually getting warmer now. Would have been nice to see the warmth and rain come together. Our biggest rains were the week leading up to mother's day and then the mother's day deluge. It was a late spring rain but we got some nevertheless.

Thanks, I feel ya. Just my 2nd season getting to know them. I’ve actually gotten pretty good at finding new spots via map- not always huge producers, but more than a couple times have found em within 100ft of where I dropped the original pin. I love teaching friends and have even taken ppl to some of my big patches. I’m working on putting together a video to show habitats, fruits, some “look a-likes,” etc. Let me know if you get your graphic together, or if you wanna co-create video.. started (read: have gathered some footage/photos) it for some out of town friends, but I’m sure plenty could benefit.

Is there a way to spread a patch to nearby areas for future seasons? It's kind of sad seeing my first found patch start to dry out from lack of rain. There are boxelders and fallen pieces of them all over this place but only found the ovoids in one particular area. There's a massive pile of woodchips from a downed tree like 10 meters up the path from the ovoid patch so would that be a good spot?

I use a electric light machine gun to shoot gel beads filled with spores but you could achieve the same effect with a squirt gun
