    Nice finds Crick! I have yet to give this shroom hunting a try.
    Are you trying to be a hand model like that seinfeld episode involving George?

    Same here...
    But it is keeping the ground nice and damp lately. Hopefully that could be a good sign.

    Do you guys have any good websites to get some tips on hunting shrooms? I have found a couple, but I'm still not sure of where to start looking for these?
    Field edges? Deep woods? Help?

    Just wondering what the big deal about these mushrooms is? I figure ya eat 'em, but I'm not positive:confused:

    Are they nutritious, or do you pop 'em to relive the 70's:d

    Jim_IV you dont know what your missing,, they are scrumpchious <<< spelling, i know :confused: I find mine in the old strip mine ground around here. They seem to be around where there is a grove of sycamore trees and always on top and the sides of the hills. seems to always be alot of new honeysucle growing in these areas to. If i get around the pine trees, forget it, they dont like the acidy soil from the needles.

    Check out those P90X fingers! :d

    Awesome finds, Dan!

    What's that one in the upper top left? I don't think I'd had the courage to try to pick it and eat that one...

    They have find reports and a progression map. We should be finding them here tomorrow or Wednesday.
