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
