Don't ever talk about public places like that. Also, investigate on your own! if the Chants and Kings are busting out, any other active might be too

The mulch needs a couple years to age and start the decomposing process (or rather, to allow organisms to decompose it). And it takes a season or 2 for introduced spores to colonize and fruit from the chips.

Yeah, GGP is pretty specific, but it hasn't been censored in other threads... though, you're getting way too specific. In Fact, I think all mentions of GGP should be censored. This is for our protection, not cause the mods are ass holes. We aren't the only ones who read these boards, you know......
As for wood chip age/colour. I agree that cyans prefer older chips HOWEVER often times, new chips are dumped on top of old chips, that are already colonized by mycellium! I usually check beds that look new, and dig my shoe into the mulch, to see if there are weathered chops, or even mycellium under the top layer.

This whole thread should probably be trashed and started anew.

Golden Gate Park is allowed to be mentioned, just in no specific detail.
Likewise, someone can say they are finding such and such in Central Park NYC, just not in any specific details.
Personally I think the specific locations ban should be lifted at this forum. But there are the implications for any specific locations being revealed (coppers get involved).

i agree that they tend to be well colonized in older chips, providing they are still firm [not soggy and falling apart]. beds with several year old chips already grown over with ivy are prime, especialy given the degree of cover provided by the ivy, and the fact that ivy growth is anual, continualy renewing the substrate.
i never see them in brand new beds, but often see them in beds on thier second year, leading me to believe that they established on the first year and colonized untill the second. keep in mind that they are often refered to as a primary saprophyte. they are readily suited to utilize fresh wood.

The cyans i found in GGP where growing directly from soggy, degraded wood chips, dead grass, and a rather sandy type of soil. Not that that is a usual occurrence, but just thought i'd thorw it out there.

good point, it's hard to speak accurately in absolutes when organisms are involved .
