Man, exciting, that would be so sweet to know their range is that far. Shit, you may have just opened the Ovoid season in mid-march? Lol, if you have, I dub thee, sir Boomhunter.

Could be P Atlantis or Atl#7. Too big for naematoliformis imo ( i have found all 3)and that is definitely not p weilii. Cool finds, send a sample out if you can and mystery shall be solved.

Going to send out spores this week. I wish I had my own scope.. On another note I went back out to the patch and found that it is actually about THREE TIMES the size I thought it was!! The ones I left to develop were a nice size and looks like I will get a 3rd flush! goob
PS I always leave some for the earth, animals, or humans.

Ive picked many of both..first picking weilii then ovoids..and Ive always said they do look very similar...ovoids grow from wood directly...and I would guess weilii..I would love to believe that ovoids grow down here though!!!! So lemme know how the study goes..but I say weilii...either way epic find!

They are not weilii. Weilii do not have a defined annulus even remotely close to that. The gills although i have seen a few weilii like that, do not resemble them. They resemble atlantis to me by the color and and size, but again they need to be put under a scope to know for sure. I will bet a thousand dollars that there not P. Weilii. Weill do not grow in hard wood debree. What exactly is it about these that would make you guys think weilii other than being found in N. GA? Other than the location I really dont see a resemblance but the similarity of the cap color.

The gills on this atlantis look very similar to the older 2 in pic 4 on ur first post. They are also very crowded like that when they are young, and in these next 2 pics you can see how pale the caps turn after picking just like yours.  This particular sample didnt have a very prenounced annulus but i have seen them with very solid veil rings just like in your second post.

I think that the fact that there is no pine needles OR red clay and that some were growing right off wood might suggest that the are not Weili. But soon enough we shall know the spores are in the in the mail!!

I don't know what it is, but I'm posting so I can follow this thread,

and this phrase is gonna haunt me, I'm rereading The End of the Matter by Alan Dean Foster and when I saw an early Weilii I heard it said in a sing song voice by the alien Ab, that follows Flinx around in the book, I'm doomed.

I have plenty of pics of well defined annulas on weilii.....and know that its not impossible to find weilii on wood debris...i mean lizard king found cubes growing in mulch! but either way I guess someone will clear it up soon..and I caaaaaant waaaait! I dont know of too many people finding atlantis..but I guess its possible...definitely not ovoids though...if they are atlantis then ill be as excited as anyone..considering Ga. is my home! lol

If you have plenty of pics of weilii with a well defined annulus around the stem id like to see it? I have seen lots of weilii with vail marks on the stem, but never a collar. I find atlantis every year very close to dekalb. Either way it will be cool to see.

I think atlantis is a good choice, but from what i've seen (on the site, not real life) atlantis tend to be small and a little more flimsy than the OP's mushrooms. I would be psyched if that's what it was though, i've been looking for atlantis for a long while... who knows, maybe i've found them and just thought they were Weilii.

See I find them with a vail mark on the stem like that too Dickenz but these have a collar. Very different. We will know soon enough. btw weiliigod, Atlantis arent really flimsy. They just have a smaller stem and stature.

Yeah I missed that pic of the veil remnants...so I went back to all my ovoid pics and...damn...heres a pic I have of Ps. ovoideocystidiata thats identical to the ones you found..

My question is do the base of the stems look like this?

I know Im still going and everyone is waiting on the print..but Im so excited to know what those are!! Now Im very hesitant to write off ovoids..and Id sure love to find some down here...I found all mine in West Virginia!
