I just cant believe they havent been found before now..I guess they couldve been just mistaken for weilii..or they havent been here long and great things are to come..I definitely think the climate here would be perfect as these things love the humidity..especially if you can find very shady areas that hold a lot of moisture..these things could very easily become common here..but thats just my take...either way Im definitely doing a LOT of hunting this year.....
Now I believe it will be a race to see who can post new findings in different Counties of Ga.. ..
So with that said..... Fellas!!!!!!

Another point as someone had metioned is that apparently atlantis also lack the annulas..so either these are ovoideocystidiata..or possibly another unnamed species??
Who knows...all I know is Im gonna hunt more of this habitat in the future here in the great state of Georgia! They can make em illegal to cultivate, but they cant keep em from growing!

Trying to stop them from growing would be immoral from a scientific point of view. This is valuable mycological and ecological data Goober is finding.

It would make sense if they live in GA that they'd be popping up now, as it is still too cool up north, but would probably be just right down south. I bet their season there is earlier, perhaps shorter because of how quickly things get warm in GA.

It also depends on how much sun they get. If they're in shade by a stream or something, like OP suggests, the humidity and temperature would stay pretty nice for a while. I bet about June-July when we get our rainless (but still humid as Hell) Summer, they'll go dormant for a little while and pick back up with the rain.

I would have so say WAY before June-July in GA, because it gets too hot up here in Ohio (even in shaded creek areas) by mid June at latest.

I've not hunted them, but I figured the stream nearby would be a sufficient water source to keep them hydrated. I guess they don't take to the heat too well. Thanks for the information. Since you have IRL experience hunting them, I'll take your opinion over my own any day.

I never said I wanted to...Im just upset that I cant buy spores in Ga, and was saying they can never stop us from picking wild ones..lol

Did you ever get a chance to post some more pics of the new spot you found? Id really like Workman or someone to look at these and determine whether they are ovoids or something else. Goob have you sent out anyone else samples?

If OP had sent gill tissue with the print this could have been resolved

So can the gill tissue be dry? The base has small spike like fuzz that surround a bulb.

Yes it can be dry and should be connected to the cap so the person checking it out knows the orientation of the gills.
You can cut the cap in half or even quarters, it doesn't take much
