They rotted cuz they got old. Better to keep them covered with leaves if cold is coming. If its only a day or two below freezing, things might straggle along for a while. If the freeze is hard, go collect whats out there and get it in front of strong fan immediatly.

Some of the best fruitings Ive found are under leaves. They dont need to breath. Every patch I would find, I would cover with leaves so others wouldnt find them. Being under leaves often makes the fruiting bodies bigger because they are protected from elements and struggle to get taller and raise themselves above the cover to float their spores.

. sorry reply fail Nice pics. I Feel like the third and fifth from the left are not azure's. The cap looks a bit off as do the gills they appear to be subdecurrent. From my experience they tend to be free. I understand there is a huge difference in them but I've never seen that phenotype. Another of your pics had a similar one as well.
Edit: shit I zoomed in on the hd pics. Looks like a bit of possible bluing on the cap margin as well as some purple spores..... Idk.

The 4th from the left is a cyan which is why it looks different.

Odd that you would say that. I've found the exact opposite to be true. Psilocybe species seem to exhibit phototropic attributes especially cyans. Every time ive covered them with leaves, the ones that arnt covered grow bigger faster. And the most robust ones I've ever seen were out in the open.
Not saying that covering them with leaves isnt a good idea to hide them or protect them but I'm pretty sure it doesn't make them bigger than they would have gotten exposed to sunlight.
Would be interested to see an experiment test cyans ability to utilize sunlight.

No way... what you thinking bro after all the azzies you found you think thats a cyan? That stem is massively long and red, just cause the cap is a lil wavy don't mean it's a cyan, coulda just got stuck in the grass.
And hunter i see what you mean by those two looking slightly off but joust is a pro and id imagine he picked those for the taxo shot because of their variety.
Sorry for blowing up the page with responses but I'm bored.
So also here's a few snap shots of cyans and azzies at the coast yesterday

Well I think number four is an azure. He found a few different phenotypes which is cool, but I still feel like three and five are something else. Possibly. The gill attachment is off not much bluing for how young it is the cap seems off as well. I'm probably wrong.

I went back to the same place I got semi-caught a couple days ago to get what I couldn't at the time. All but two of them were gone already.
So I sighed and took out the trash bag I'd brought to pick up all the bits of plastic and other crap that awful people apparently just throw around. A good half an hour later I've got a 3-gal bag nearly filled with garbage, when what do I stumble across but:

Since I'd already given up for the morning, it was a nice bonus to find a little happy family of cyans living under a bush.

I was agreeing with covering against being found and the cold. AS far as getting bigger. The stems seem to get longer, but also deformed and twisted when covered. The caps seem to remain small. IME. Candry. Those people that spotted you probably got the mushrooms you had to leave.

Been working Tigard area before, during and after work. I know it's late in the season but I scored a job that requires us to pass through business lots, complexes, park areas and landscaped areas to get to destinations. They spent a day training us how to look at our feet while looking ahead and sweeping the area (biggest job hazard is falls). So basically taught us how to scan for mushrooms haha. I guess it's so we are aware of leaves so if wind blows them over an ice patch or we walk by and disturb them, we know not to step there.
Hope to find something even though it's late. Would be cool to have a city find that wasn't ovoids, even if it's just a handful. Nice to see you guys still pulling them. I've seen a lot of areas that are prime candidates. Tigard has great landscaped areas it's just a matter of time. Haven't smelled them yet, smelled habitats though.

These are all azurescens they were all right next to each other and also were not near any cyans I took this photo because it showed great variation among the species. People dont realize that there is huge morphilogical differences within species. Think I would misid a azzy in the feild?? comon man

Nice shots btw get some in the snow if you can today!
And this may be a lil of topic but this thread is slowing down. But here's a race a set up between using rotten cyan fruiting material vs a few colonized chips. Both bags contain 1lb of boiled alder chips for a smoker. The first has about a dozen thumbnail size colonized chips mixed in. The second has a full fresh fruiting cluster of a dozen mushrooms smashed up and mixed in.

Looks like the precolonized spawn is taken hold well but the rotten mush is germinating everywhere now. They're 2 weeks in and I'll keep record of the next month see if the spores win because of shear surface area. Also i have about 4 other species in bags to compare colonizing rates with but they are all mined spawn and feet so there won't be a fair comparison. Whatever the case I've found that zip lock bag tek makes it fun to watch as well like an ant farm.
