Red Hills / Thomasville GA

**Red Hills/Thomasville: S-Tier Flush Incoming** You're looking at a textbook late-summer convergence—sustained soil heat at 80°F paired with solid moisture retention (0.34 VWC, 7-day average 0.27) following nearly 4 inches of rain over two weeks. No limiting factors means everything on the board is live. The oyster/chanterelle/chicken trinity will be the reliable workhorses, but don't sleep on the stinkhorns—Ravenel's and Elegant are primed for a proper fruiting when humidity locks in at dawn. Watch the next 48–72 hours for dew persistence; if overnight lows stay above 68°F with fog hold, you're locked in for a 5–7 day peak. Moisture is *sustained*, not declining, which is rare for Georgia in late August and suggests a secondary system may refresh conditions mid-week. **Hot tip:** Scout oak and hardwood edges *tonight*—oysters and chanterelles fruit fastest in this window; the 80°F soil means pins are already forming beneath the duff.
