This big fat one reminds me of ovoids I only find in one particular area. Never seen another pic of a woodlover that looks like this

Nice fat ovoids!
Anything special about that area? What are they growing on there?

I don’t know. I’m doing an experiment this year. I’ve made a separate mulch patch that i seeded with only stem butts and colonized wood from those huge ones. My main patch is just regular random ovoid myc. Both patches use chips from the same oak tree. So if I get fat ovoids it’s genetic, if they are just regular sizes, then it’s substrate.
I suspect it’s genetic because those fat ones I’ve only seen it one very small area maybe 1/4 mile long, and there’s nothing special about the trees growing there compared to every where else in that park. I’ve never seen those anywhere else, but they appear every year and every year they seem to spread a little further downstream.

They also grow equally big whether it’s from manmade mulch or from natural wood debris, which is another indication it’s some kind of genetic mutation. I’ve weighed some of these individual mushrooms 50-70g each wet.
Those holes in the caps extend all the way down through the stem to the stem butt, which seems pretty unusual to me

There’s a variety of ovoid that is fairly prevalent in central PA that you will only find along the Susquehanna in Maryland which is clearly a genetic variant that has washed downstream but hasn’t had time to colonize elsewhere in the southern part of its range. This one not only looks very different (the caps never become flat), it has very different fruiting characteristics like routinely growing off of exposed logs, something that is pretty uncommon with the “normal” ovoids. It also has a pretty decent fall season, unlike normal ovoids
Anywhere south of Harrisburg, you will not find many of these except within a mile or two of the Susquehanna, and they are the dominant type along that section of the river.

I'd love to get my hands on those genetics. Beautiful, very interesting to see the different forms.

Yeah I’ve meant to send some to Alan.
The way the veil clings to the stem, I’ve never seen that with other ovoids.

Here's the observation that I think is linked to the above find: thaiaeruginomaculans

Whats the ideal nutrient % for woodlovers on LMEA? My plates, despite looking clean, are so incredibly slow at 1.5%.

I use 10:10:500 for everything and it’s never failed. I’ve tried lighter in the malt and agar in a few combinations and didn’t like it as much.
Koods, you ever see any ovoid like these? This is a clone of a really normal one, but the clone patches are different from the origin, throws out these big fuckers.

Cross over from Exotics but it's a wood lover. 
A pair of tall half pints. Pretty dang early but I'm excited. This was just playing around while backing up some cultures. Haven't even got it to grain or LC yet. Waiting for T2s to get a little bigger. If the chips expand fast enough there's a small chance of an outdoor fruiting in spring. If not, maybe I'll live until next year lol.
 Psilocybe aff. Hopii (Gandalfiana) day 2 agar to chips
 Psilocybe aff. Hopii (Gandalfiana) day 2 agar to chips
Here's one of the T2's.

Yeah. I was hanging out with a friend in a park and came across a pile of mulch from a stand of bamboo and a tree that had just been chopped down. I had my backpack which always has random ovoid debris in it, so I buried some in the mulch and forgot about the spot. Very casual, not expecting anything just a handful of crap from the bag. Came back in the middle of winter for a walk and noticed that there were a couple random black mushrooms that had fruited and froze.


Suspected they were ovoids. Put a note in my phone to check out that spot in the spring
This is what I found a few months later. It took two years but they had colonized all the mulch from that tree and bamboo from just a handful of dried rotten ovoids and a few colonized pieces of wood. I have a bag of colonized chips in my trunk to put into mulch when I think of it. I probably should do it more since it really is almost a sure fire way to get a new patch started, and it takes almost no effort.
