EAST LANSING, Mich. — Now is the time to scout under your blueberry bushes for mummy berry mummies. Michigan State University Extension advises scouting in “hot spots” first, especially wet areas and close to the woods with a history of the disease. Due to snow cover over the winter and a very wet spring, an early crop of apothecia is ready to shoot ascospores into the air and cause shoot strike infections (if green tissue is present).
