Ocmulgee / Central GA Piedmont

**Ocmulgee / Central GA Piedmont – S-Tier Flash Window** You're looking at a rare convergence: sustained soil warmth (79°F), adequate moisture recovery (0.91" in 14 days), and zero limiting factors. This isn't a slow burn—it's a 3–5 day peak. Oysters, chanterelles, and chicken are your bread-and-butter targets, but the real money is in stinkhorns (Ravenel's, Elegant) if you're working oak or hardwood duff—they fruit hard during these warm, humid pushes and are overlooked by casual pickers. The edible cubbies (Golden Teacher, Landslide) are live, but that's a personal choice. Moisture will be your only constraint once this pattern breaks, so treat this as a now-or-wait window. **Hot tip:** Hit any old oak stumps and fallen hardwood in the next 48 hours before the soil moisture settles—stinkhorns and chicken peak simultaneously in this thermal envelope and disappear fast once humidity drops.
