More fun than an Easter Egg Hunt and more exhilarating than a spring breeze , mushroom season officially begins "when the leaves on the privet hedge are about the size of a squirrels ear” according to local guide Marvin Rhodus, or when the May apples bloom according to Charlie Hahn. Others suggest mushroom season begins when asparagus plants are 3 inches high
