Mushrooms

Found a few

I found 5 day before yesterday. Will try to get out today.

What kind of habitat do you find these in most often? Low lying areas? Flood plains? I've heard around sycamore trees and they are always in that kind of area. Never found any on my land but haven't looked very much either. I'm in a higher area also with a ton of sand rock.

Around here usually more often on south facing slopes. Usually around decaying tree matter. You can find them from creek bank to timber edge. Most of what I find are on what I call a secondary break in slope, right near the edge. Where there is the slope from the creek, a flat, a slope and a flat. Usually attributed to green briars, dogwoods, hardwoods. I have seen them almost in a road. I have seen them in a pasture. They have to have spores, moisture, and temperature. Mainly, they are where you find them. Go look after you get rain and then a warm day or two. I have noticed they tend to be in a location for a few years and then they are gone. I have seen spots covered one year, and then never found another one there. If you like fried mushrooms, they are HORRIBLE to eat. I suggest calling me to take them off your hands, as well as any nasty saugeye.;) There is a reason people walk miles for them. Like a big kid Easter egg hunt.

Dead and dying trees for sure. Around here it's in sandy loam soil, typically around elm trees. Buddy lives north of Enid and finds them around cotton wood and cedar. (The only trees they have around there.)

It's raining right now, hopefully they sprout in the next couple days here. I've never seen one in the 5 years I've lived in Oklahoma but found plenty in Kansas and Iowa, usually around cottonwood trees.
