2024 Season:Current Morel and other Wild Edible Mushroom Finds/Reports Progression Maps
Special note directly from Chris Matherly:
Well folks, here it is April 8th and I’m just preparing my first morel progression map for the 2024 season. I feel so bad but due to circumstances behind my control, I have had many obstacles that has greatly affected my ability and my available time to keep up like I normally do. The good news is, from this point forward I should gradually be able to keep caught up with all it’s involved with the maps and progressions and reports so please bear with me and I hope that you can understand. Sometimes life throws you punches, kicks, and in my case even stabs… This is my true passion and my desire to share my knowledge and help people as much as possible with their forging endeavors and I’m doing my best to roll with the punches. And I hope that you can please understand that this time of year is so busy for me with all that I do on the internet, gathering information compiling etc etc. To keep up with everything and social media as well it’s literally 120 hours a week this time of year for me which is not including the guided mushroom classes that I do this time of year especially. If you can please be patient and bear with me I won’t let you down because I have been doing this since 1999 when I first created this club and taught myself how to build a website and supply all the answers the people ask about foraging. I will have the first map as accurate as possible up-to-date and posted on here within a couple of days. I hope you’re having a great season and finding lots of mushrooms. We finally had a great season here in Georgia this year for the first time in a while and my motherload foray the end of March was simply amazing. So, check back later this week to see the newest map and I’ll try and keep you updated with new progressions a couple of times a week throughout the season. Happy hunting and I’ll see you in the woods!!! -CHRIS MATHERLY
