my mushroom gathering is limited to the store lol. not a shroom in sight outdoors yet.
I'm at a much higher elevation than you and need to wait a bit longer. Have a nice spot scoped out where they logged last year and if the weather cooperates should get a nice pan full or twoGabe what are you doing on your computer? Get out and pick!
found some turkeytails growing on a stump. rumored to be good for treating cancer. how can i collect spore and inoculate different stumps/half-rounds to get a sizable amount?
new to shrooming...thanks for replies.

Wish I could help. I know of people that culture mycelium indoors, in a sterile setup, then dump it outside to get fruiting bodies. You can look at something like morels that grow naturally yet people pulled out a lot of hair in their attempts to propagate them successfully.I was curious as to why I would need sterility...these grow wild out of doors...they are not likely good for cultivation(propagation) naturally? there is no sterility outdoors...)
Scoped the area out for the first time really and mostly equipment tracks through the woods after selective harvesting. No clear cutting. They basically broke up the virgin ground and still covered by the forest humus layer, lots of tree coverage, good moisture retention, no sun baking, etc. Issue I see is I'm looking at the forecast and sunny days in the low 70's. It needs to be cooler, partly cloudy, partly rainy for the next week or two and this area would yield an epic harvest. It's getting to hot too fast and potentially dry too soon for this area to show it's potential. It's a bummer cause this is the first Spring after they broke up the forest and always the best year for potential fruitingSounds like you know the drill. Select cuts in doug fir, engelmann spruce, grand fir, etc. They grow right in the skid trials where they drag the logs out...
