Generally what it seems to me is that in the early season you tend to only really find them at higher alititudes. Watch out for humidity, night temps (specifically 8-11C) and even pressure (should be low rather than high.)

They don't necessarily need rain. Ime they do best with fog/mist, or overnight dew. But even just consistently high humidity could be enough.

Generally the north half of England seems to see the season a month behind the north of Scotland, and ours started a month ago so hopefully you'll see some soon. Also even travelling as little as a few kilometres can drastically change results. I'm finding hundreds just 3km away, but none in the usual spots here.

Also look for areas with high moisture retention, like the edges of a field along the treeline, or even around the lower edges of a small hill in the field if there is one where the water drains towards - this is very important in the beginning of the season.

Happy hunting and good luck!
