I fool no-one. The whole hemlock thing got blown out of proportion. I search hemlock ravines in my area because they have northern hardwood trees, lots of beech and birch. Outside of the ravines is oak hickory and difficult to find beech trees. Throughout the many locations i find them the only cosistant is beech and birch any other tree means nothing. In the catskills or further norrth the beeches and birches become dominant. I see in your main post you said beech but i see a betula lenta.. That bark with lenticels is not found on beech. But from a picture it is difficult to tell. Are you sure it was a beech? My finds today were a mixture of both.

Wow. Just, wow. I'm proud of the photography too. In my area of north Georgia, we have so many huge ass beech trees that dominate the ever-changing creeks and ravines, but there are also oaks, hickory, and such mixed in. Would it be best to stick to the areas that have primarily beech trees? I notice there are a lot of young beech growing thick in areas, but I would venture to guess you guys find them under mature trees that drop a lot of branches in storms and such. Thoughts?

Holy shit Mead, that is a very nice cluster! Must have been hard to walk home with your pants full of jizz Seriously though, wow, that is the biggest and densest cluster of caerulipes I've ever seen! Can you post a few habitat shots?

I tried to comment on this last night, but I 'd, 'd, and pased out.
Like everyone already said, holy shit, nice find! Biggest cluster of Caerulipies I've ever seen! Pristine condition too, obviously conditions are great where you are (whereareyou?). If I were you my work would have just found out I have to flu and won't be coming in for a few days.

Sure here's a couple. Now I hunted all over this mountainside, but these were the only ones I spotted. I'm gonna keep an eye on this place, as well as continuing to look for others. I think I just happened to show up at the right time. Conditions are pretty typical for this time of year--warm during the day, down to 50's at night. Rain has been fairly consistent, every couple days we've had a some rain, but it hasn't been raining buckets or anything here, nor is there any water nearby. Location--NY state. Thanks for all the compliments

I'd say just get out and go look. I think temps might play a bigger role for some of you (say if you live down south of mason-dixon.) Where I live its getting cool at night(bout froze my tail off last night/windows open.) I tried to be specific where I hunted, nice moist dark areas, but found these at a place I didn't expect them. I will say there was huge beech around in the forest--would have taken 3 or 4 of me to get my arms around them; however, the debris they were fruiting off of wasn't on some ancient felled tree, it was the debris that came crashing down from and mixed with the decaying tree itself(I think.) Maybe the dying/dead/decaying tree absorbs and slowly releases the good juice :p Perhaps some others will share their thoughts, again my biggest tip, go out and go often. Don't be too specific, I almost didn't hunt this place as there's no water nearby.
One last thought, this was mainly old growth, as you can see it blocks out the forest floor for the most part, so there's not a lot of plants growing about, makes a nice forest to walk through--compared to rolling int he weeds down by the rivers/creeks.

Dont look too much into temp or age of the trees. It doesnt seem to matter. I often find them in random spots just on a few twigs and branches but the largest fruitings seem to be from large decaying beech trees like this
As for temps, last year they started after a heat wave this year after the coolest day of the summer so far, so that doesnt seem to matter. But every year they started after we got 2 plus inches of rain in 24 hours. Time of year is important, the early and mid summer mushrooms shouldnt be out any more when they start to fruit. I said it last year as soon as the xerula start so do the caerulipes.
Also, mead your find are perfect and unmistakable they will not always be that way. I stepped on a big patch of them yesterday because i just couldnt see them. Bent down to pick some puffballs and then realized what i did. So good luck and search carefully, never know where they will be

I have been seeing xerula all summer, and chantrelles will fruit almost right into autumn. Our seasons are so whack here, but I agree once it starts cooling off a wee-bit i'm gonna hit it every day (actually this morning there is a crispness in the air that screams autumn). I also heard that caerulipes seem to share environments right near other species of fungi growing in the same habitat? Can anyone shed light on these "indicator" species? I think someone mentioned seeing caerulipes and black trumpets at the same time. This might help clue in on their short season.

I love your find and where and how you found them. the more finds we get the more information we can share. i was just trying to add to what you where saying. Again i am sorry, i hate technology and words typed are not the same as words spoken, i had no bad intent. Good luck my friend
