Reds...

[Outdoorsfool]

Friend of mine found 2 reds yesterday afternoon...they were about the size of grapefruits.

ODF - Up in your neck of the woods???

[Outdoorsfool]

Yep. Not too far from Russellville.

Hmmm...may be time to take a walk in the woods this weekend. Thanks!!!

[Outdoorsfool]

The land he was walking is pretty much one big hillside...north facing. Go figure.

Mushrooms don't know north from south. Found the dang things growing in a pasture before. Not a tree in sight. Definitely the exceptance rather than the rule but like you said...go figure.

Never really hunted for reds that much as I don't eat them. But with morels, I generally find them first in the areas that get the most direct sun (edges of woods, bottomland and south facing slopes). Notice I said "generally". With those damn things, anything is possible!! I found them in one place here in mid-Mo where they were out in the middle of a sand flat, left over from the floods. No "woods" or large trees, very little grass or other vegetation and a couple of real small trees.

Found some about the size of grapes in the apple orchard today so they should be popping in the woods any day now.
