yes it is sir. it seems to be flushing every month or so at this point. this makes me very, very happy.  as of right now i have 2 active gym spots that seem to be flushing regularly.  this flush seems to be larger than the last. this time i am definitely going to spray the patch and hope for the best. i will keep the thread updated as the pins mature.
thanks everyone for the warm compliments.
as always...
peace and love bloodworm

so, check this shit out. i went for a walk this afternoon to give these little guys a drink and when i happen upon the spot, i see nothing. i look 5 feet away and notice this:

my heart nearly sank into my stomach. then i got real pissed, then upset and then real pissed again. i guess some fucking critter decided that my gym pins would make a nice little snack. it seems as if it ate the 3 larger pins and decided to leave me some evidence, just to kick me in the balls. i hope the fucker tripped his balls off and decided to run in front of a speeding car.
my backyard is basically all mulch (about 2 year old pine bark nuggets). i broke some of it up with my hands, dug a little hole in the soil and covered the mycelium and what was left of the pins up with the crushed pine bark nuggets and watered. hopefully i can make the best of a bad situation.
the patch flushes quite frequently and i will go back out tomorrow and water it. hopefully i continue to get flushes and produce a nice gymnopilus junonius patch in my backyard.
however, i'm still a little upset about this and couldn't even write about it until now.

on the bright side you got a picture of the rooting which is cool. The animal did a pretty delicate job, and is it still connected to the root in pic 1?
and this species of Gymnopilus probably won't do well in wood chip set up unfortunately

i know. i was super surprised at how clean the little critter dug it out. mattianyb and i were discussing the same exact thing. it almost looks like it might have been done by a human. but why would a human do such a thing? it had to have been done by an animal just digging for more and deciding he had enough.
i know the species doesn't naturally grow on woodchips, but i figured i was making the best of a bad situation. hopefully, something will come of it. slim chances i know but hey, it's worth a shot i figure.
still depressed. however, at least there is hope and the way i see it i have another flush to look forward to in a month or 2.

Absolutely an oak which is the only type of tree I have found Gymnopilus associated with in TX. Your tree looks like a live oak specifically.

Wow, didn't know oaks got such gnarled looking bark. I was going to guess at plane tree.
You live in a very nice area, nice find with the mushies. Sorry they got chomped, but I had a bit of a laugh and thought of Sod's Law.
