Nice finds, nice pictures! That Panaeolus is goofy huge. I think your third picture is cyanescens, do you have a picture of it not dried? Psilocybe gills before they develop and drop spore are pretty light colored-

That doesn't look like Panaeolus Cintulus to me

Maynard: I picked it dry like that a couple hours ago. I think maybe it was immature when the heat wave hit, drying it up with brown gills.
Burton: It might not be. I put in a request thread and a TI said Panaelous

Panaeolus cinctulus stems are normally pretty red. I think those may be Panaeolus antillarium, Panaeolus aren't dangerous to eat or anything. If you are worried about that single cyan I would just throw it out, better safe than sorry.

Good eye, looking through Panaeolus antillarium photos right now and it looks much more like this one. Thank you.

I agree with Maynard. That looks to wavy a cap to be allenii... possibly cyanescens

Looks like things are starting to dry up down there. The small pins might be some kind of Chroogomphus, do they stain red?

This is my second find ever. First find was a very small Allenii patch resulting in 1 gram dried.
Tonight, I found a lone sort of dried Allenii. Too dark for a habitat shot, but here it is harvested.

Found my first active today! P. stuntzii if the kind TI was correct. If they are, and this little patch is in my backyard, would it do me good to water it every so often? That area doesn't usually stay moist all the time.

maoz - Nice find...hopefully you'll soon be finding out what kinda patch sits under that little lone mushroom.
hamgravy - Holy shit, no way! Beautiful shot too! I can't believe it...in your yard the whole time! And P. stuntzii! Personally, with the coming weather I'd leave the patch alone especially after you clip the mushrooms. If the mushrooms are still there it'd be fine to mist the patch or something like that.

I'd pour a gallon or two of water on them suckers. Not directly on them, but near them.

Non-actives (sorry) but still fun to hunt...
Sorry couldn't get a better pic, but possible ID on this one? Thing was super ghostly white. Haven't seen these before.

For every patch that I find, I plan to water it after harvesting to encourage future flushes. And, if it's a large patch, I will likely leave 25% of the mushrooms for procreation purposes.
Are there any rules to watering a patch? Avoid heavy streams? Not watering directly on the mushrooms or where the stems used to stand?
Want to see these little guys thrive and spread for everyone. Thanks in advance for your knowledge and help!
Btw, DavidReishi, good find! Doing stinking well as usual. LOL.

I don't think that watering a patch after harvesting it will encourage future flushes. I mean, if you water a patch regularly you'll encourage fruiting. But when a patch fruits, it produces pins for a period of time, then it stops as all the fruits continue to mature. Then the patch almost always rests, no matter how moist the conditions, for a month or longer. Usually the next fruiting is then triggered by water...either irrigation or rain.
I might advise different if we had nothing but dryness ahead, but right now things on the weather front are looking good.
Regardless, I used to water by carefully pouring plastic gallon bottles of water over the patch, but now I use a sprayer...both the handheld kind and the pump-tank kind ($2 and $20 respectively at home depot). I think spraying is far superior to pouring...even if you wanna use a lot of water. It has way more of the desired effect than pouring, which often comes with weird side effects to the mushrooms like stunting and hasty maturity.
As to your other questions, usually you should carefully water the mushrooms too if there's any there and you deem watering beneficial. Personally I never water mushrooms that are already drying out or faring really badly. But last year another member, Cubespr if I'm not mistaken, successfully rehabilitated a drying and injured fruiting through waterings and leaf-cover. Covering with leaves a whole nother thing.
