Interesting. Two questions for you: 1) Do you think that spores often end up traveling in clumps? And 2) Do you think it's possible that, the Bay area  being less than 800 miles from the PNW and sharing the same coast, the natural azurescens spore population in the Bay area may be greater than nil?

Knowing habitats and niche modeling. Its not likely that a species that prefers such a specific climate and substrate to grow naturally so far from the habitat.
I could see them migrating, but people would have seen a lot more along the northern californian coast.
It is also unlikely for a spore clump to be driven by air as they are much more effected by the weight. In addition, UV radiation would also negatively effect the survivability of those spores...

I think you might be forgetting something, Joust, which Stevo came close to touching on in his last post. San Francisco is one of the prime destinations for people from all over the world...including the PNW. Simply go to the airport in the PNW and see the airplanes filling up with people every hour and taking off for San Francisco (and Oakland.). Now what do you think the Azzie spore population is in the PNW, and how do you think that's reflected in the clothing, shoes, hair, skin, fingernails and belongings of all those hundreds of people arriving over here directly from the PNW, every hour of every day of every week, etc, etc.? I would think Azzie spores radiate from most airports and tourist destinations in the world.

To me, the real question relates to how a patch of P. azurescens can fruit in relatively warm temperatures (the drop was from the 80s to the 70s or high 60s with nights at or above 50), and without rain.

If you want I can make you some LC to spray around.  Just need a couple stem butts.

A small section after being watered just now. This morning I saw that the beds had been irrigated, but I knew they'd need more water after today's temps in the 80s and humidity around 30 percent.

You finding any psillys in the 80s is impressive by itself. At least for the West coast that is.

That's what I'd be doing. And, when the company is identified, call them up and ask where they get their oh-so-beautiful wood chips from.

Maybe you'd get an answer like "Oh, those, yeah we buy them cheap by the truckloads from a company down the Oregon coast".

Cool find in any case, you should be smuggling out those colonized chips and plug them into other beds as well.

I'd clone the bastards since they're used to the environment. It would probably be the best course of action and run a few lines of genetics in LC.

Dude, quite being a pissy baby.  People who have been at this a long time are trying to inform you and all you're doing is throwing a fit.  I like you, you put up good posts.  Please stop.




Nobody's tried to "inform" me of anything. I just lost some respect for your intelligence.

And anyway, if I remember correctly, you were originally a douche-bag to me for no reason (last year), and then when I effortlessly blasted you a new asshole, you suddenly changed your tune. Welcome back.





No, I downplayed a child's reaction when you went full melt like you did here.  There's a reason you had to opt out of ratings David, it's how you treat people just trying to have a discussion with you.  This is a mushroom forum, people like to have conversations about the origins of patches, natural ranges vs introduced, ect. 

Unfortunately, you seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you is attacking you.  That's when you get nasty and have a toddler like meltdown.  It's really sad and embarrassing to see.  There's a lot about you that's really awesome.  The adopting pets and taking care of them is really cool, a lot of the finds you post are really neat.  Clearly you're trying to be a good person.

Maybe you should look into counseling, it really helped me deal with my anxiety and violent responses to people.  It seems like right now you just pretend to be nice to people while harboring resentment and rage. 

You don't know shit about mycology, and neither do I.  That's why I try to listen to the people here who have dedicated their lives to it.  I think there's the off chance they might know more than us.  If azzies occurred naturally in wood chip beds away from the coast then Portland would be covered in them.  I have never found a single patch here in all my years of hunting, except for that one I made from stem butts.

We're just seasonal actives hunters.  Try not to ego trip.

We should all invite ourselves over to David's house now and munch some actives together.  That would be the most practical and efficient way to end this irritation thread  :smile:

And no, I don't mean freeload, we'll hug him and stuff and all swap stories and laugh so he will be richly paid!

Those fruits are too concentrated imo.

I'm w joust. That's some professional spore bombing imo.

Sweet find

They Def seem outta habitat, however the climate they're fruiting in seems of interest possibly

Maybe even planted jars of mycelium that's a nice azzie patch...

It is too bad this turned into a train wreck. I was very excited and then incredibly let down, almost to the point that I don't find someone spawning azures all that impressive. David you should relax please you are a great hunter and passionate, both of which I find awesome character traits. Deep breaths buddy this is a cool find no matter how it happened.

I cover my jacket and walking stick and soak my shoe laces in spore water or when it's pouring smear matures all over my poncho. I've then driven 2 hours and who knows how many spores made it along with me. I could have just introduced cyans somewhere changing into my mudboots. Mud and chips and myc in the treads and there ya go.

Especially my walking stick I really work spore slurry in there hard while I use my stick for hand strength exercise. I'll soak it in my 5 gallon bucket of spore water and slurry before I go back out hunting. I've started printing on my jacket. It helps.

I also can't be the only person who drives very far to hit other areas. I've done 400 and change in 36 hour stretches of picking. Then between picking and handling them I'm sure they get on my pack and in my beard and hoodie or hat whatever. It only takes 2 spores..
