Some people think of spending the day inside when it rains, but not me! Although I end up soaked and sometimes might come down with a cold, it's all worth it. Every year when we get those first good rainy days around the end of summer/early fall I'm out and about in the forests. Why? So I can harvest the fresh Honey buttons that pop up all over. This last year I found the mother load and the picture below was only 1 of well over a dozen trees that were ringed in bumper crops of honey mushrooms. I left the ones that were covered with dirt from just popping up to be washed clean by the overnight showers. I harvested over 20 pounds in the first day!  Hunting for mushrooms in the rain or just after is always fruitful! |

You can find that many Blitz, just go to your favorite oak forest and look for the stumps or dead trees. It's really cool because if you find a group like that, you'll find them all over the ground too at some point but most people don't see them because of the leaf cover. But they're there!

I have seen a few that have been just a quarter or so of that, but I only got out for a little bit last fall, but the leaves fell to soon for me and didn't find much after that.
