Outdoor Azure patch

I really was just wondering how flood hardy are they? Can they be submerged for more than an hour, a day, a week or would that kill it?

Right on. Looking at the edge of an alder Grove where it's marshy and steep. There is plenty of places where water is flowing now but it looks like it pools up decently in the fall/winter. Pick my high ground well now I guess.

I'm in Maine on some pretty wet clay soil. My azures fruited when I made a patch last spring around this time. Still kicking today. Overturned some ground and saw some nice white...
After being submerged in slushy snow for months, she's still kicking.
Constant running water or completely stagnant water with an icky smell ain't good. The icky smell is probably anaerobic conditions, bad for azures. Constant running water could erode out your bed.

There was a couple little streams on both sides of the area I looked at not right on top of them. And the stinky area where the skunk cabbage grows was further down. I was looking at an area full of nettle and creeping wild berry about 2 feet above current water levels.

Only cuz I didn't want to hike to get to my mushies.

Yeah I don't have a good spot right close so I just went down the road a bit to the closest beach trail. I wanted to plant right in the beach grass clumps but it gets really dry here so I went for a damper micro climate. Hopefully the slugs don't get lucky.

 My bad thought I had a couple recent ones the others are older. Can't wait to see some action there! I have a few other cyan/azure patches I started that I'm hoping will be nice to me for the first time this year also. We will see.

That is only a very small portion of the patch btw it's about 4'x3' and the whole thing looks like that Plus it's grown into the alder branches I've put around it and the wild crawling blackberry or Wtv you call it has grown over and created a lovely cover/microclimate I'm really expecting big things there.

Sweet pins! Just a few and slugs got to a few already but set traps and bait around the area and hopefully these will finish in the next few days and more will follow..

My az patch gets flooded during each rain. The current isn't strong enough to tear the patch apart but it does get covered with a few inches of water. The section that gets submerged seems to do better than the rest.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

The water level is still a good ten yard from it's "normal" level so unless we get some real rain anytime soon I won't be worried about it. It would take flood worthy weather at this point and so much ground cover has grown up around and through it that the patch should be fine. Waiting for bigger fruit and letting it sporulate is my goal. I'm really hoping I got the pots right and it is the az patch. Otherwise it's cyan If I'm wrong then the other patch I've been thinking was cyan is looking fine as well just needing more water like you said. But everything on this island needs more water still it's crazy the ground is almost dry after a rain today.

It looks like this maybe the cyan spot the other patch will be the azure. Heavy bruising light pink to purple spore print 3-4 inches tall and 1-3 inch caps. Some veil remnant on cap and stem after the web is gone. Other than that they scream cyan with the wavy ass caps no nips at all. I'm a dumb ass. What is the deal with the rotting? Just normal aborts and decay? The ones that are rotting are all slimy and have this yellow goo. I just cut them until the inside of the stem was clean and dehydrated everything at 95° I'm going to pick until it freezes if it does this year.

Also my local wild patch survived being raped last year and has produced a few small fruit I remulched the two small beds nearby so one didn't stand out. I'm thinking they are ovoid or perhaps Allenii. A dark purple spore print. Shorter fruit with noted greenish staining in some area. Only going wavy in extreme age. They are already gone so can't take dried pics now. Super heavy in the body ime from last year.
 Find these in two spots now. Are they Ovoids? They are a little dry from frost by now but the biggest one was less than two inch tall cap and all. Very short thick meaty stems on them. Very freeze dried but my cultivated ps. Cyan are tall, like twice as tall. I've noticed greenish bruising as well on the caps where they have dried and cracked. usually a heavy dark purple spore print but I noticed that one from last year was a weird orange color almost.
Mr Rockefeller might have been correct last year. I dunno, no scope.
