I had planned on going weekend of 26-27 but the cold tempatures and strong wind kept me out of the woods. I got out for my 1st trip today 4/29 and found 35 black ones. All were very fresh and appeared to have been up 24-48 hours. The place I found 35 is good for 100-200 when the conditions are right.

I believe all we need is one decent rain followed buy warm weather with plenty of sunshine and it will be on like Donkey Kong...that is for areas that have the "early black" mushrooms. I normally dont find the yellow,grey or white ones until after the peak of the black mushroom harvest...got to go wife said supper/mushrooms are on the table.
