Yes. Or if your patch is irrigated, then once those fruiting bodies reach maturity, they are not going to dry out, they will continue to get drenched, causing bacterial infection and accelerated decay.
So there is an up and a down side to sprinklers!

In a way there is, because nobody really leaves them on all the time. It's just an hour or two a week maybe in most places, and in between then you're still getting the dry air, and the recent dry winds will bang them up a little.
I have one spot that last year, they just couldn't make it past barely opening up, then we would get the dry east winds again and they never got bigger and just got a dark ring around the cap. Kind of funny tho because that made it try to fruit maybe 5 times during the season cause it could never figure out...a little sprinkle every day, dry air, more sprinkle, more dry air
all I could ever get was a bunch of halfway mature ones. I think maybe it learned it's lesson this time..it hasn't fruited at all yet in the larger exposed place, but only nearby in the ivy, and that's my current icon
the weather can really wreck havoc on these things unless it's really protected. these dry east winds
all we can hope for this season is that when it rains again, it stays cloudy for awhile after that..When that happens, it'll get good
so to answer the below post, that really depends on how much it's sprinkled..I mean, if they leave it on all the time, then there's no problem and it will go all the way, but if they turn it off, and they usually do, then it's exposed to the dry air again, and it shrivels..If it shrivels too much, it's gotta be picked, because it's stopped growing
don't feel bad tho..plenty of us have seen the same thing for the last 3 years at least
and yes, if those on Alans video are sprinkled, they'll probably turn even before the next rain...Well he'll see it anyway if he's able to go back there every day...They'll start getting darker...there's a window of a few days where you can still save it by drying it out, but eventually they'll get too dark
that's basically how me and Urbanism did it last year with the p subaeruginascens patch...we waited until they just started turning darker...picked them that very day

update on the new p subaeruginascens patch
from 4 days ago and today, the 3 in the closeup
 
they're not doing to well, getting darker...some new pins have grown a little..the place is being watered..the ones today were wet, but darker
but dangit, more forked gills...also noticed when wet on this variety, there's more of a pellicle than cyans or the other p subaeruginascens...you can see it a little when splitting the cap apart...you can see some remnants of tiny debris on the cap todays pickings, which is sticking to the cap because it is a little sticky when wet, due to the pellicle...another clue that puts it in 'section stuntzae', but it is not p stuntzii...it is far more potent than that...probably the most potent in the entire section ( I ate the two smaller ones in the right photo...I still can't believe it 4 hours later)...just amazing
this place is so jammed packed with these it hardly matters...problem is, it's a famous place with famous people, so can't really spend more than a few minutes.
you would absolutely laugh your ass off if you found out where this was. I couldn't think of a bigger joke in terms of location
..actually found out the landscape architects and they did another famous place in SF with the exact same type of black wood chips, and that one is 100 times bigger..you never know..this could be a really big one coming soon....the landscape architect is based in Sausalito, but they have only done one project in Marin, not in Sausalito...they've done other famous places in China as well, but this particular location isn't even listed on their website....dunno why..the building itself is famous but the landscaping is only 100 feet..relatively small...howver looking through their website, I noticed they are indeed heavy on the woodchips, as a new and emerging 'green technology' for helping plants in low water situations.
maybe Stamets has caught their ear...who knows
..and it's true....I actually had to go to the San Francisco city hall website and RFQ/RFP proposals (contracts) to find this out with the current new p subaeruginascens site
do shroomers look this stuff up and trace the origins of woodchips and how they ended up there?...they do...yep
hey btw, it's not really unusual to have indian summer this late either...so it's sort of like were getting 2 seasons this year
consider this a prelude..to the main season that is up and coming

Hi Auweia
Some influx from the other side of the planet...
To me, this variety looks quite similar like that species
Subbedhunter420 found in Ventura County, southern California.
Picture from this thread:

yeah, I think it probably is the same type as the one found in southern california. we definitely have something new on our hands here in California...and Oregon
the beauty of it it that it's not as easily recognizable as p cyanescens and could easily be passed over by people experienced with cyans. I still had a hard time with it despite finding it twice before. it still has the underlying psilocybe color, but much less obvious than cyans
the really difficult thing is, we still can't figure out what causes fruiting..It doesn't adhere to anything remotely like the normal cyan fruiting cycle..You can't just drop the temps and water it and expect it to fruit
it's just going to fruit when and where it wants to regardless of human intervention...it's just there.....right smack in the middle of downtown San Francisco......lol...cracks me up
it would be similar to the doorman at the downtown Hilton saying 'never mind that mushroom bush sticking in your face' as you get out of the car. It could only get more central a location if it leaped into your lap like a puppy dog and said 'HI'
there is one trusted friend who doesn't hunt, that I showed a wide angle of where it is...I didn't even have to tell him....just showed the photo, and he said 'holy shit'...
he agrees...if the wrong people found out where it is, it would make the news...pandamonium..they'd shut it down, spray it...it's too famous a place

more Gymnopilus luteofolius.
Besides that, Suillus caerulescens, and a few pissed off colonies of yellow jackets - I haven't found anything exciting.
much more ground needs to be covered.

our place to stay was in oakland and the bridge was effed - we didnt wanna go around at 3am, and our original plans to be up there in the first place were canceled. I also didnt see the update after you said it was canceled. so I woke up yesterday and did homework all day and ended up so crapped I fell asleep at 7pm with it in my lap.
I still have to study for two midterms, write a Philosophy paper, and an Anthropology paper.
Wish I could have been here. I have barely even had time to mushroom hunt the past few days. We will reunite again sometime this season?

Nicely done.
As Sui said, you were missed at the Gathering. Especially since the majority of those who showed up must have been from The Pub or OTD, as I did not recognize any of their names. And oh man, they were obnoxious...
I can't count the number of times I must have heard the phrase "shit box" yelled throughout the evening, in various contexts.

Nice photos auweia, pretty odd looking species.
