Anyone found any yet?
I haven't personally found any yet, haven't had time to look. I did have a friend post on Facebook the tasty little morsels are here, then posted a pic of some he found.Quote:

Jus made some trips through traditional good ground. Looks too dry. I found nothing.
Looked Sunday after 1.5" rain nothing yet.
Lots being found in the NE, South Central, and now the SE after their rains. This widespread rain will get them popping. The soil needs to be over 50 degrees at 2" depth to get them sprouting.
Its well above that now, just need the rain.
Found a few around the Sand Springs and Sapulpa area. If I knew how to post a from my phone I would show them to you all.

We got the rain. Time to hit the woods!
It's only 54. I don't think it will get to 50 at a 2" depth today.
Went out to some honey holes this afternoon. Walked 1.7 miles, I found three, my buddy found 5.

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.)Quote:
