Forests/Cow Pastures Protagonist (TN)

Hello people, I am having a lot of discomfort when it comes to shroom hunting here in Eastern TN. I will post these two links for you to see first of all. This is the link on the shroomery, that tells what shrooms are specific to each location: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23483#T
However, I am now finding out that this may be some what un true, in that only a few grow here. A link, that was started, a while ago I ran apon can clarify it more. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/572712
There, it says, that only those two grow similarly two NC's.
I have gone up to a forest that is on a mild hill/slope, that eventually flattents out, and leads to a cow pasture that has hundreds of cow patties on it. It is used as a dairy farm, but it is huge.
I have been going up there since June of this year, numerous times...and I can not seem to get any luck.
In the forest, there are many dead rotting woods, but with the amount of trees above, I do not think they can get the appropriate amount of moisture?
And then in the pasture, there is elevated grasses and weeds around the manure, growing tall, as should be, and where the shrooms should be, but no, no shrooms.
Today it is raining, and it did pretty hard, and I am seeking good advice from shroom hunters that no of a solution. Am I not looking in the right place in the forest?
It is a huge forest, so I guess you could miss many areas, the ground is covered with dead leaves, pine, and growing with weeds, and various mint and so on, lots of things, like forests are.
Thanks again, your my only hope.

So, any advice before I go hunting tommorow in the same forest, except, it's rained a lot today, and I'll go in the morning. Please.

Here's some advice.
To find what you are looking for:
Not only do the substrates and other environmental characterist have to be present, but so does the specific species' mycelial network.
In other words, You mushroom is not growing there most likely for one reason - - The area has never seen a successfull spore-to-mycelium-to-fruiting body conversion.
Just because the conditions are right, does not mean a mushroom will be fruiting there.
Hope this helps. I know learning this bit of information really sucks.
When I learned this little tid-bit I cried.
Later.
