2012 Morel Season Over

McCartney — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 02:24:14 +0000

On behalf of morel hunters in Texas, the 2012 Season is now officially over!

Warm weather arrived too soon, rain too late, and a drought likely knocked morel fungi back in 2011.

May we have good rain and a rare October fruiting of Morels in 6 months!

Growing Oyster Mushrooms on Coffee Grounds

McCartney — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:08:00 +0000

Had a bit of fun 2 months ago growing oysters on coffee grounds. Made the mistake of putting them in a small plastic tub and forgetting they were there. Well, found them today and they pushed up the lid and fruited. But by the time I got to them, it was too late, they were dried.

East Texas Foray

McCartney — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:35:13 +0000

I was on a trip in East Texas to help do some fieldwork. We hiked 8-10 miles a day, and it had rained 2-4 days before so lots of shrooms had popped. With such a plethora of mushrooms, I had a field day taking pictures. I ignored all LBMs, as they are near impossible to ID.

Winter rain brings potiential mushrooms

From mid December forays, we found that the rain was bringing out a few winter mushrooms. Maybe the drought is broken and good morels await us in spring?
