They hang around on surrounding veg too when it's wet out. They get in the way and they're everywhere, surrounding veg and shrubbery is ripe with them. Banana slugs will drop down from trees. They also eat your mushrooms.

My field observations would say they're going to wick water through the tops of mounds and fruit prolifically at the base. You see this when you're out hunting and see piles of flail mower detritus from years and years past. Same with ant hills. They'll live inside piles and leave your mushrooms alone but they hurt like Florida fire ants. I'd put my money on the first fruits to pop everywhere but after a few years the piles will just serve as water retention, particularly psilo cyans.

Oh, well nevermind lol =P

Birds and squirrels will get myc on their feet or carry them around and drop them all over the place. If anything its a service.. and also a trade off. They'll eat your slugs and bugs but will also eat grains. It is what it is.

Cyan season has been over for 4 months give or take (minus a recent faery ring find). They may fruit this year, they may send out a few, or none at all. With this grow I'd imagine fruits by fall season. It's very well done.

It's been a weird winter; I wouldn't be surprised if some azures popped. It would be of great service to post finds in MH&I and/or mushroomobserver.org. It's not that I doubt it, but pics speak louder than text =P. Finding a patch of them now is pretty unlikely.

Probably the subaeruginosa native to your area but that's just a guess =P

What are your plans on feeding it so it doesn't disappear next year? I think Book brings up a good point using wood water when it gets dry.
Have you considered just straight mulching it and adding other species like Agrocybe Praecox or others? The top, most natural layer is going to be most important for next year and years to come. It would be a shame to see this burn out.
Edit: Also, I'd like to see what happens to an area if you add chicken scratch to it. Enhance a few years worth of bird droppings.. I bet some bird feeders out there would be awesome on their own for eating slugs and gnats and flies, caterpillars etc. Especially if you have to lot of robins around.

Just grab leading edges as much as you can, anything can be cleaned up, it took me forever on a wild azure print but I did it without antibiotics or agar sandwich you just keep doing it and grabbing edges and moving it..
