the bay area freeze is warmer than the PNW freeze, ive seen cyans explode from freezing and still see fruiting for quite a few months longer, they go away for us when the sun comes out for too long

This week it's warming back up in NW Washington so it'll be interesting to see with all the rain if the stuntzii and cyanescens pop back up. I'll let you know later this week just to compare seasons.

Thats exactly why i asked this. OR and WA got a major cold front last week. I knew it wasnt gonna last but i worry 15 deg. nights for 4 days straight may inhibit new fruiting even though conditions are good again here and have been since Sun. I feel like theres a good chance ill see a flush but im not farmiliar with the way those temps adversly effect fruiting, or if it isnt necesarily an adverse effect but more the conditions just simply are too cold for fruiting.

In my experience (Germany) only very few fruits pop up, once the weather is warmer again.
No further "real" flushes.
If the cold weather is only for a few days and it's getting really warmer afterwords (I somewhat doubt that 45 F will do it), you have a good chance for them to pop up again.
However, as mentioned above, in my experience it needs muchwarmer weather after a freezing period to resurrect our little friends. And this for a longer period of time.

Thanks, but I can only take partial credit. below is the original photo, and some nearby ones. I believe the species is Lepiota, right?. I think this was discussed once before in the Bay Area thread and they're become fairly common right now in chips. The original One Tree sign is Rigo 99, the photo is mine, but the photoshop job on the Three Mushrooms sign was done by a friend at my print shop, altho the idea was mine. She whipped it up in 10 minutes and still has the originals if she wants to run with it
famous sign, done by famous artist in San Francisco, and I passed by there and went *ding* 
(some problems with photos lately. couldn't upload last night, now no thumbs...I'll re-up when thumbs come back)

funny thing, the name 'brunneum' is part of the name of the Lepiota...finally got thumbs back
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepiota_brunneoincarnata
oh, I get it now, this was once listed as Lepiota
http://www.bayareamushrooms.org/mushroommonth/shaggy_parasol.html
just cursory internet search seems to be that poisonings occur in Europe with Lepiota, but maybe not here, thus the new name?. And is that really the sole factor is what the stem looks like? (whether the annulus can be moved up or down?)
  
anyway, they're pretty common right now, and as for this
I thought it was obvious > p cyanescens

Hooper Street guerrilla garden, december 16, 2009, partial harvest. > before and after pics, and a wide view.Picked three fruits and trimmed it down a little today
  
Believe it or not, I actually found this independently without any info, in the exact same way I find cyanescens in the San Francisco Bay Area landscape urban setting. Obviously, people had done work on it, so I had to look it up to figure out who did it
Now, some of the oysters were harvested by me, earlier today. They're currently coordinating with some free food stands, and some church groups to get these harvested probably by the end of the week
Despite it's being technically planted, it's still 'in the wild' in the exact same way as many cyans are really 'in the wild', because nobody really knows, or ever will know which patch was planted and which isn't, for cyans - hell, I've done transplants for years and can't even tell anymore with many places...haha
With the Hooper Street garden, it should be a precursor to a movement to make more gardens just like this, with wood chips, which means it's just as likely as any place to also host cyans eventually, planted or not
Even better, the Hooper Street garden is actually OFFICIALLY approved by the City and County of San Francisco and the Mayors office, despite being originally illegal and on city property almost a year ago
This is part of the 'greening of the cities'
and it's spreading
here's an explanation I sent to the founder of this garden, along with three others possibly invloved with harvesting the rest this week
>>>>>notice how the biggest fruit is getting a little mottled and wavy at the edges. That's the first sign of that specific fruit peaking or reaching maturity...so I picked that, and 2 more of the next largest size..
gave one to my dispatcher, and have the other two in the fridge. The biggest one was itself about 1 pound, twice the size of my hand. the next two were about the size of my hand...they are BIG
Selective harvesting can be done by simply sticking your hand down there into the patch and feeling the stem and reaching for the bottom and twisting and breaking it off at the base...That's what I did....What remains is still growing and the smaller fruits still sitting there will continue to get bigger until they too, reach maturity.
I know this from 20 years of experience with some other species, unrelated to oysters, but it works with many species of mushrooms > selective harvesting, or how to tweak it and get the maximum yield out of any given patch
what remains right now at Hooper Street is still good until the end of the week, by Sunday and possibly beyond for the younger fruits. There is still plenty of time for what remains, especially now that it stopped raining for a little while (they will continue to grow)
see how what remains will still get a little bigger....
I tell you this so you can see, from top to bottom, how far these oysters can go..It's important because most people think mushrooms sprout over night..They do NOT in temperate climates like ours. It's more like 1 week to 3 weeks and even longer for some species
addendum > it actually does work like this for cyans. I've done it for years and anybody can do it for any spot they have sole control over and are able to get to once a week at least. You simply pick the largest ones and leave the rest for next week, and sometimes...just sometimes, you can tweek a spot for months like that
also, in the wide angle view of the three batches, the one on the right partially harvested.
the one on the left > that was the 'brains behind this operation' a couple weeks ago...remember that?
December 2, 2009
today, December 16, 2009
now you know
P.S...San Francisco is a major exception to most northern hemisphere temperate climates regarding mushroom growth, because the season can, in some cases, last all the way through Spring > March and April
that's because it rarely snows and freezes here on the California coast (this actually confuses many species regarding fruitings - it also confuses plants too)
so to answer the previous question > is it worth it to hunt for cyans?
I dunno > define 'worth it'
would it be worth it to hunt for 8 hours to find two cyans in Golden Gate Park?

Found a very interesting mushroom in a park when harvesting from my Blewit patch... The cap was dome like, not wavy, no distinct umbo, but from going through dry-wet it had become profusely cracked. The mushroom was mostly rotten, but I could tell that it was bluing, on one of the mushrooms there were just a few areas of blue, but another was a blue-green molted mess. I didn't scream Psilocybe, Inocybe, or Gymnopilus so I am rather confused. The gills didn't look as if they we producing purple spores, but they were destroyed and had been ruined from pressure of leaves/twigs/stuff and were bluing like the rest of the mushrooms. I will go back soon in hopes of pins.

I have no idea what that could possibly be based on your description. We will need to see some photos if you are hoping for an identification.
