Logan Mushroom Calendar
Logan sits in the Central Basin and Range and has a drier, rain-shadowed climate — about 16.6 inches of rain a year. The ground warms and reaches early fruiting potential around April, though frost is still possible until about May 8. Summer dries out — July and August typically see under an inch of rain — and fruiting goes quiet until the rains return in September, kicking off the year's main flush. Winter then shuts the season down hard and early.
