Your finding a nice variety of species David. Those first ovoids look like something else, but the new find looks more usual.
I have been looking for ovoids in colored mulch in my area because it is now the dominant mulch used for landscaping. I'm not a fan of colored mulch, but it does contain a lot more wood than what used to be popular, shredded bark.

Interestingly, today's new find isn't the only patch of orange ovoids I've found. Last season I turned up one (pictured below) in the next city over...though, unlike today's, it only put out a few fruits at a time, even with quite extensive mycelium. This year, besides a couple isolated and tiny specimens back in October, it's refused to fruit. I've become convinced it's more of a warm weather i.e. spring fruiter.

I wondered about spring and fall fruiting ovoids. Since on the east coast spring seems to be the most common fruiting period with larger,more widespread flushes, I wonder if there is something different with the less common fall ovoids. It seems not all ovoids will fruit in the fall even if rain and temperatures are right. The ones that do might consistently fruit more readily in a wider range of conditions. Will propagating fall ovoids continue fall fruitings? It seems like these kind of selections could be made, just like what has been done with other cultivated mushrooms.

Every ovoid patch I have found in Portland has a small winter fruiting and a much larger spring flush. The spring time ovoids are smaller, but much greater in number. They all come from the same mycelium.

Found my first Cyanescens find. Beautiful. Wish I had better photos.

TODAY:
1) 
P. ovoideocystidiata. I revisted yesterday's find to better search the site and get some more shots of these neat ovoids.
2) 
P. cyanescens. This was the remnant of a find from last Monday. I had covered up a bunch of younsters with leaves...but today they were uncovered, leading me to believe at first that it was an entirely different patch. I was like, "Yes! Yes! Another one! Oh...wait."
3) 
P. cyanescens. More fruiting at one of my Berkeley finds from two weeks ago. I love how when a patch's fruits dry out before full maturity it has no problem recommencing fruiting right away.
4)  
P. allenii. This is the site of another of last Monday's finds. The first three pics are where I had found a few dried out specimens, and the last four pics are where I had ended up discovering a shitload of fatties in the dark. I was in shock that all this appeared in the span of a week.
5) 
P. allenii. These two pics correspond to two finds from last year that are in close proximity to each other. The first shows a large mature fruit (left over from an ample harvest a week ago) that I could've sworn was a mere child a couple days ago. And the second shows where some really healthy meaty fuckers had sprung up a week and some days ago but which subsequently got injured by the dry wind. It's already sent up some replacements!
6) 
P. cyanescens. The only specimen in existence right now at last year's best producer. The place is mostly allenii...with a cyanville at one end. Over a pound dry from a single flush. I couldn't believe it today that nothing else was poppin' up yet!
7) 
P. allenii. You can see it was gettin' dark by the time I made it to this site of another of last year's finds, the 'teenager frequented spot.' About a week ago, after harvesting some, I covered up a bunch of youngsters with vegetation. Well today I arrived and, immediately beholding the lower cluster of fatties in the pic, thought they were the youngsters I had covered up. But no! It turned out that the fruits I had covered (the upper cluster in the pic) were still covered... Such that during the interval the lower cluster had sprung outta nowhere and completely caught up with the upper ones!

He is finding more than everyone else combined and will post his photos at the end of the season.

TODAY:
1) 
P. ovoideocystidiata. Due to the horrible cold dry wind today, I made the call to harvest some of the ovoids at the patch I found two days ago...namely all the fruits that rose more than half an inch off the ground along with any pins that were already drying out. Leaving over a hundred pins, I doused 'em with water so that they'd hopefully make it to tomorrow's rain.
2) 
P. ovoideocystidiata. The larger of the fruits pictured two days ago at the 'greenies' patch (a last year's find) received a nice trampling...one of the more common fates of specimens at this spot. The smallest fruit, however, must've managed to run outta the way just in time.
Bonus) 
Look at the face on this!

Thank you for keeping hope alive. Love those ovoids - I really need to study up on them and I have to wonder if I haven't walked past at least a few this month. Do the orange ones show more blue a few hours after picking?
Looks like Kitty pimped his ride! Respect!

Well I had 'em in a refrigerator pack all day, over the course of which they definitely blued up a bit.

Uh...no he's not and no he won't. He doesn't even live in the Bay Area any more.

Yesterday I was visiting SF and decided to check up on a cyan patch that was fruiting in GG park a month ago to find that it had spread with a few over mature specimens. The funny thing is they are located in a very obvious area with a lot of hippis around but apparently they don't seem to notice them or they don't know how to identify properly lol 
Bonus- there were a lot of other species fruiting in the area these were huge!
