Well, all these agaric sightings coupled with the recent rain sound promising, especially considering what a dreadful season we had last year. Azz when are you thinking of going hunting? I was planning on giving it at least another month or more, to be sure. we have a neighbor's front yard here in Sydney that also gets completely carpeted by agarics (until he takes the mower to them). They start to pop up later down here - usually when the agarics start to come up in Sydney it's sub time in the mountains!
