I am hunting in central ohio too.  There has been mushroom observer posts about them from Columbus a couple years ago so they must be out there, but i don't think they are too common.  Last year i struck out hunting along the olentangy river and the streams that feed it from like whetstone through worthington. Saws tons of fungi, just no ovoids.  Weather was not great last year, cold spring then summer hit and everything was overgrown.

It is going to be about 70f today and rain coming.  Next week might be the first time I really look.  Been scoping more spots along the olentangy.  I might try and head east and south in the peak season if I still strike out this year.  Like hocking river or even try alum creek.  I'd glady take any hints about general locations where ovoids have been found around central ohio.

and if that fails I may beg for a spore print so I can get a mulch bed going myself and get some spores blowing around in the local area that hopefully escape out.  Could trade for some cube prints I took last year of some really aggressive colonizing in fruiting varieties.  =D

good luck everyone.

Not to be rude, but there are plenty of central Ohio ovoids and plenty of posts and threads with many many Ohio finds. They are common and prolific in the Mid Ohio Valley

They are common but you didnt find any for years... makes sense =D

Well your post felt discouraging to me, sorry to be shitty about it. 

I will find them eventually even if it means i gotta travel a bit out of my immediate area.

I have 6 hours to hunt.  Headed out at 6 am, drive 2 hours south, I have 25 minutes left until I get to a producing spot I know.  It's mulch and natural so there may be a chance. Had to stop for more coffee.

I found mine on debris piles on the river like this http:// http://
This is my spot on the river near my house.  I've hunted areas before & after that spot with NO LUCK.  Same habitat but no Ovoids. I could never figure out why?

This year with that area being completely wiped out & even the river changed (depth/course/size).  You'd think we'll the debris had to go somewhere & collect/pile up?  It didn't, it's gone, replaced with new debris & trash which I collect when I can.

Like you Ps.NoName, herbtaylor & many others, we'll continue to hunt until we find them again.

That spot looks glorious

Another thing to watch for is places like this.  The creek floods the entire field and runs into the tree line.  That circled spot is always loaded and every other spot on this creek that’s like that has them.
