Republic Mushroom Calendar
Republic sits in the Northern Rockies and a drier, rain-shadowed climate — about 18.1 inches of rain a year. The ground warms and reaches early fruiting potential around May, by which point the average last frost (May 30) has usually passed. Through summer, localized storms can set off scattered fruitings, but widespread flushes are rare until more consistent rain returns in October. Winter then shuts the season down hard and early.
