Pittsburgh PA normally kicks off only after a good rain system moves threw very late April or early May. The creeks around here don't start up until around May 10th'ish

You don't want fresh, you're looking for at least last year's flooded areas. Floodplains that have box elders, older debris piles, ect. Look threw the older threads, it's plenty of habitat pictures. Another trick is to pull up Google maps - find where the bends are in a river, creek. Then go to the satellite image & see if that area looks promising...

Yeah its been a dry start for Jersey. I'm thinking next weekend things will really get started. I've also seen barely any wine caps yet, so it's just gonna be a later start than usual. They are trying to come up, but with the dry weather they just aren't getting very far. But it won't be long

Yall find wine caps coincide with ovoids fruiting? 


 I found these last weekend In ne Ohio in park woodchips that had morels nearby
I didn't know what the strophiara were certainly so I left them but they looked 100% bug free and tasty and there was pounds of em

I’m basing my exploits on yours haha, watching all the NJNY peeps on this thread like a hawk. When you look I’m looking. Got some spores from last season some memebers were kind enough to send my way that I’m planning on putting to agar real soon and start my own patches. Though I’m really hoping to successfully hunt them this year.

I find that the strophria generally last for a shorter time than the ovoid season, but start around the same time and are a lot more conspicuous and prolific. They even like a lot of the same spots!
I also explored around a ton more today and found some new boxelder areas to check out when my known spots pop out. Wondering if any of you have had any luck in areas with sycamore, since the wood fairly similar and there are miles of floodplains dominated by it in my area, with boxelders patches being small and few.
Speaking of stropharia, while exploring the floodplains I actually found some in the wild! I've heard they are extremely rare in non-man made settings (of course being common in mulch piles) so I count myself very lucky. hopefully ill find some ovoids there next week!

Since I decided to go back to school, between full time courses and a part time job, I haven’t been able to take part too much in this season.
Managed to get to stop at one of my spots, wood chips produced, floodplains have not.
Also, how much will floods disturb spots? My areas (SE PA) seem to have been washed out by floods.

I saw lots in the floodplains despite all the mud. Just redistributed all the debris piles so most anything they are fruiting from will be either buried or way up away from shore

The only rain that matters is the past two weeks. It was an extremely wet early spring here. Doesn’t matter. The .2” the last two weeks means no fruiting fungi

That's been my experience. Had a buddy drop some wine caps off last week & I have found about 200 morels but haven't seen 1 ovoid pin yet. 
I'm sorry Shroomhunts you got flooded, glad to see your ok tho.

Did you not cash out yesterday, Koods? I mean I got some rain, wasn’t a lot, but it was more than forecasted I think. Maybe enough to get some popping.

I know that people have discussed it before but what is the best way to harvest Ovoids while causing the least amount of damage to the patch? I've seen some say cutting and others say pulling the whole mushroom. Thoughts?

Personally, I've been experimenting with spreading patches and seeding uncolonized watersheds, so I usually pull the first few big ones to get some fuzzy stem butts, then cut the rest to avoid causing too much damage to the myc. In the wild, though, usually you'll just want to pull, since the mushrooms are usually very long with stems weaving around sticks in the debris piles.

In my opinion, it's best to cut = less cleaning. Unless you want the extra leftovers to try & inoculate another area. That's what I do with my remnants, including my paper collection bag.
