That sucks someguy! Hopefully your patch will come back.  Good luck man, they're out other somewhere.  When I'm hunting and not finding anything I wonder how many are within a given radius of me that I just can't find. Lol

My spot, which I found last year, is a wood lovers heavan.  I find so many mushrooms there. Not just ovoids. Utility workers deposited their mulch from cleanup there. And, the line of mulch is running north to south right on the edge of some woods. I've seen other lines of mulch like this on the Ohio river, but they have all been oriented in such a way that they get too much exposure from the sun and dry out fast.  They usually harbor a sporadic mushroom, but usually less than 1% as many as I find in my ovoid spot.

"wine caps" aren't indigeonous to the US, so unless you are on the west coast, they are extremely extremely rare. They only occur where they have escaped from outdoor cultivation projects.

odd you say that i have encounter three different towns that have em, 3 spots in my town, one  in a place about 2 hours from me another in a town 30 min from me. they may not have been indigenous but they are certainly finding their place. oh and one instance in vermont growing completely out of habitat



fact of the matter is they do love ovoid habitat for sure.

whered you get your information that they arent common on the east coast

Stropharia rugusoannulata is an aggressive digester of wood chips. It has colonized many mulch beds in the Northeast, both accidentally and by design as gardeners will often inoculate their mulch piles and wood chip paths to cultivate this delicious fungus. Although the most robust fruitings are in May and June, a second flush often appears in the fall, and this year I have seen them in several mulched beds in my neighborhood.

they are very common cause people introduced them, then spores spread and spread and spread i think in my town if you plant the right mulch they will just happen my neighbors had the best tasting albino wines caps i ever had but ripped up that mulch and had new mulch replaced in fact they re did that whole area cause they are stupid rich people.

the wine caps that grow at the environmental center dont taste as good at all but appear to be the same strain ill totally get some pictures and make a wine cap post

No, haven't seen any wine caps there or at all anywhere I hunt.  I did check the ovoid spot in may and June of last month. Hopefully this year I'll find some wine caps too.
