Strange how the morphology can change when you take them away from their home. These guys are pretty far from where they came from would be the reason I would imagine. And for many years too. The genetics came from a hammond strain syringe from workman back in 2006,.
I thought they looked pretty close but thats just me,

Very nice!
When do you usually see the first frost and first snow?

We had a frost last night but the way I have it set up keeps them from getting burned by it. They got a little nip one night which you can see in the blue bruising on the nipple tips of the older ones in the middle of the cluster but that isn't a big deal really.
In my area I will probably see these things fruit well into December. It starts snowing in late November here but the tote tubs will keep it off the bed and until the ground actually freezes which comes a little later they will be fine.
This morning it was 28 degrees out but only for a few hours so they didn't come anywhere near freezing.
The water on the leaves all around them didn't even crystallize the slightest bit.
In order for them to freeze the ground around them has to freeze and that shouldn't be happening for more than a few weeks if I am lucky.
The next week will be the same everyday, around 30 degrees at peak low overnight, but only for a few hours so they should be fine to keep on plugging along.....
These things are super hardy though and will freeze solid and thaw back out and keep growing even if it were to get a little more on the cold side than they'd like out there.

Hey prof, 1. Great work! 2. Will the azures actually fruit most of the year in your hardiness zone?
I'm in the same zone and was wondering. Am going to start an azure culture this winter for next spring.
3. When is the correct time to spawn outside where the azure bed will gain a foothold for more than a year?

I'm locatedin New England. I don't believe anyone else has documented a fruiting in the state I' live in...
They don't fruit most of the year here. Just September through late December - early January if they are cared for properly.
I spawned these to chips in the beginning of march and placed the chips in the bed in the begining of June.....

The Azzy bed started fruiting again.
I moved this past summer and dug up the bed and threw it in a big black tote with some fresh chips. I kept it by my back stairs all summer and made sure it stayed hydrated for the season. I covered it with a few gallons of roots organic potting soil in the last week of august and they started pinning a couple days ago.
Here is a crappy a cell phone shot of the biggest ones. I'll try and grab a charger so I can charge the battery for my real camera. It got misplaced in the move so I'll have to replace it if I can't find it. The weather has been weird. Hopefully I get enough of a window before it starts freezing for the few clusters that are going to fully mature.

I think I am going try this next year. What are the temperatures in your area the last week?

I believe we are in the same hardiness zone and I too also have azures popping up.
they seem similar, but I want to see what they look like mature. have you gotten spores before?
I'll upload my pics tomorrow, harvested a few today

Hey MH420...
If you look back at the beginning of this thread I have a whole bunch of fruits from pin to farvest from last year. 
I did take prints last year and plan on it again this year if these guys survive long enough to drop spores. I like to keep a fresh print on hand just in case I end up needing it. It looks like the weather will permit it for the next week or so at least so all I can do is cross my fingers..
I did go out and grab a new charger so I took a couple pin shots today that were a lot nicer.
Here they are ....
