	On April 8 , 2000, I found the first M. elatas of the season. They were small, about 1 to 2 inches tall. Temperatures reaching the mid 60's. April 9, rain changing to snow, received about 4 inches of snow but it did not last. April 10, temps in mid 50's, and the elatas were markedly larger, with many new fruitings. They loved the snow! Here is the first photo from April 10.
