Damn dude those are some big ones.
These all from the spot you showed me last year?

I found a few today too.

Hiding is what ovoids do.

I need to get some of that Susquehanna variety mixed into my beds; so cool looking, mimicking the look of P. semilanceata

Re: phenotypes...I believe these two different macroscopic appearances are better described as 'varieties' rather than 'phenotypes'...but that might be a little too pedantic for this thread.

I got some mulch spawn for you, from Lancaster co. Hopefully we can get down there before things are done this season.  Will def hook you up with a lil something something to get things going.  I love those variety.  Early fruits and, I believe, the more aggressive of the two.  We used to find both varieties in this one area when we first got into hunting 7 yrs ago.  The eastern PA strain is the only one we've found, except for 1 or 2 here n there, for the past 4 years.

Right on, brother. 


Would def be cool to see y'all again and do some floodplain bushwhacking. 

Found a couple new spots at the far end, early patch.  Also found a couple new spots in the later, mostly mulch path area.  Last time out my partner and I shifted more toward scouting and inoculating...from here on out that will be our main focus along with feeding existing, known patches.

The power line trimmers came thru at my house and really trimmed back the right-of-way for the power lines tremendously.  They trimmed more this year than they have in the 11 years my wife and I have lived here.  In the process they chipped all the trimmings and dropped it along the sides of the right-of-way...there is now a shredded debris field that's about 3 meters by 50 meters along each side and it's mostly on my property...I'm on a mission this summer to make as much inoculant as possible.

I currently have about two gallons and have already spread two more.  If you  make it down here I'll send you home with some colonized wood to add some genetic variety to one of your projects if you want. 

HMU if you see a date that works for y'all...it's not out of the question for me and my hunting partner to make a trip up your way, either, so keep that in mind.

I think those are Kuehneromyces marginellus.

Hmmm...I haven't gotten any rain here for about a week. Would it be worth going back out tomorrow or should I wait til the next rain? I've been continuously coming up with nada but my determination isn't wavering. I honestly feeling like the ovoids are testing my resolve. I'm definitely running into species that occur in the same habitat, so I'm convinced they are out there, hiding...

I have some prints from the Pennsylvania ovoids.  The ones that texturedsounds finds that just fruit right straight off the logs.  I want to get them growing wild here in Kentucky.  I’m not sure if I should colonize a substrate jar and spread the mycelium around or if I should make a spore solution and just inoculate the wild habitat with that.  Either way it’s a long process.  But I’m like you, they’re really cool looking and they seem to be prolific fruiters.

Interesting habitat, they look like monsters.

Found another glory hole and this one gave me an erection it's that beautiful of a hole. Easily 100 dried grams worth. Filled 2 10 quart bags plus my pockets and only got half of them. Found them in a mulch pile in the middle of the forest.
