Good observations Tak! The Beech saplings are and will remain abundant as Beech has large seed crops and germinate easily. Anyone who bushwhacks off trail will tell you how annoying and even dangerous the saplings are as they whip you in the face and poke you in the eye with their sharp terminal buds.
The Armillaria are by no means invasive they are just everywhere and probably the most successful mushrooms on the planet. But yes they do take advantage of the weakened trees caused by diseases. The bad diseases on the other-hand are always invasive. Beech bark disease and the scale insects that go along with it came from Europe on shipping routs into NY from Canada and the Hudson Bay, this was back in the 1890's and early 1900's. So NY has taken the brunt of it. Armillaria infection and even the bark disease dont necessarily mean a death sentence for the tree, some can manage to survive for a long time with it, while others die within the year. All depends on severity and if the Armillaria or any disease girdle the roots or trunk which would be instant death. Since its been here over 100 years you can say its slow moving when compared to the Chestnut blight and Dutch Elm Disease.

Its been extremely dry around these parts, dry enough for forest fires, and a ban on entering the forest, so I haven't been out hiking or mushroom hunting this year. I did check out a nice chanterelle spot last weekend, with little expectations of a nice harvest.
I did find a nice pile, enough for a nice meal at the campfire, as well as some chicken of the woods. But more importantly, I found 6 Psilocybe caerulipes. I had only ever found 3 each year, for the past two years, but I wasn't expecting to find any this time around. Anyways, here are some shots of them.

Atta boy rope I think you likely find the eastern most blue feet. Did you ever find more of those mushrooms similar to baeos? Did you get them sequenced? If not you should! Cheers brah

Hey Mr. Wilco. Its been a while eh! I haven't looked for the baeos this year, I have since moved, and no longer have access to the area. I do have some specimens still saved though. Unfortunately, I'm sketched out about sending some specimens internationally, so they never got sequenced. I have scoped them though, and I think I might scope these caerulipes this weekend for fun if I find the time.
here is that thread about the baoes with the scope pictures:

Roy: It's good to hear that some beech are able to survive while being affected. Maybe it'll just eventually become a mutual symbiosis? Nature is always amazing with the way it can react to newly introduced pressures.
Yesterday, I went searching for around 5 hours the day after some light rainfall only to come back with a face full of spider webs. Barely even saw any Mycenas. Days like that can make it really discouraging, but you just have to stick with it.
Today, not even 10 minutes into the woods, I found this family of 6 sitting on the same log that I found them on last year 





They are currently printing so hopefully I can get a decent mat of spores by tomorrow. I am thinking of trying out an experiment or two. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for propagating this species via woodchips or decaying logs? I have heard it is quite difficult but I am always up for a good challenge

I'm definitely gonna check out your thread. I'M dying to put these to agar.
I was told they are a secondary decomposer. So I figured if I could get a clean dish then drop into a jar of grain and get it colonized. I was planning on spawning it to some soaked year or two old woodchips, leaves and forest soil.

Yeah there are no teks i could find for the Caerulipes. But I would imagine they work just as any other wood decomposer does. They just carry a veil of mystery with them because they are so rare to find in the wild. I have a very long winter ahead of me, and I plan on filling my free time with wood lovers projects for next spring. Then when the time is right, I want to establish outdoor beds. Caerulipes, Ovoids, Cyans, Azures, and Subs are the goals.
Would you say the Caerulipe experience is different from cubes, and in what way? I have never tried them or any woodlover for that matter, which is what has spawned this project in my mind. Why not try them all!!!!

That's awesome, I would think they have high levels of baeocystine just like the other wood lovers, which I believe gives them such a different experience.
I did not realize that they are that slow! A few years to push out a microdose seems like some pretty shitty returns lol. Then again I'm sure it would be worth it for the dose and for the community here!
If I ever get my hands on some spores I will most definitely playing around with them!!!! I've found there's always down time in this hobby, no matter how many rojects you got going. I'm sure I could find the time for a long term project lol!

ALRIIIIGHT gentleman and ladies? I am proud to announce that I have received a caerulipe print from a really cool member here, and have swiped it to some fresh agar!! I'm hoping for germination soon! I'll keep ya all posted. And wow I had no idea how small they are, unbelievable...

I know this is a hunting forum, but I thought this was related. I did start a thread in the Mush Cult forum, but I wanted you gusy to see this!
Ps. Caerulipes mycellium germination. I'm ready to do some transfers but I wanted you guys to see this before I hack it all up, lol.
A special thanks to TAK18 for makin it happen, You da man!

Great to see progress already! 
Out of curiousity, what are you planning to use for the growing substrate?
