I'm not Stark county but may offer some thoughts. I have found 10 this year, right after the cold snap, all within a 15' radius of each other. Hunting the same area in the past it has been 8 or so years since finding in the same general location. In a wide fence row with a path mown down the middle, they were where I had already mown once this year. Who knoes I may have mowed and scattered 1 then.
Things I look for-
Dead standing trees, ash or elm
May apples
Moist but not wet ground
I've had best luck in approximately 50/50 sun vs shade areas
Cool nights (almost frost) and mild 60s days
When I find them I carry them in a mesh produce bag, the thought being spread any spores. I also save rinse water and any trimmings to dump in a suitable area to grow the mushrooms for the future. I have gone out and marked them before picking and have never known them to grow any bigger or had more pop up in the same place. Their life cycle window seems very narrow, here today-gone tomorrow. All i can say otherwise is good luck.
I usually just pan fry them or put in an omelette. Perhaps others can share recipes?
