We knew conditions looked promising, but we never expected a day like this! ❤️
Almost as soon as we stepped into the forest, we started spotting Spring Kings. Everywhere we looked, fresh mushrooms were pushing through the forest floor! We didn’t even cover much ground before our bags started filling up.
What made this find even more remarkable was the quality of the mushrooms. Spring Kings are often quite buggy by the time they reach a good size, but even the largest ones we found showed very little worm damage. They were absolutely packed with water and looked like they had exploded out of the ground after the perfect combination of rain and mild temperatures we’ve had over the past week.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also found a wonderful share of morels along the way. Every turn seemed to reveal another treasure waiting to be discovered.
By the time we had to leave, there were still mushrooms popping up all around us. Walking away was incredibly difficult! We left many behind and could only imagine what the forest will look like in the coming days.
Without a doubt, this was the best Spring King harvest our family has ever recorded. Days like this remind us why we love spending time in the mountains and forests so much. Nature is truly amazing! ❤️🍄🌲
