PNW Stropharia aeruginosa/caerulea/pseudocyanea location information

Hi, hopefully this isn't against the rules (I assume not since I'm asking about non-psychoactive species)-- if it is, I'm happy to delete this, just let me know!
I was wondering if anyone who has found these species in the PNW could give me location info. I'm interested in constructing an ITS sequnce-based phylogeny of this group of species next summer (if I can get an independent research fellowship through my school). I currently reside in the PNW for college and was hoping I might be able to make some collections for this project myself, though I'm also planning on obtaining dried samples from herbaria.
Also, if you happen to have samples of any of the species in a personal herbarium, please let me know.
Thanks,
Ben

This is a cool proposition, even though I don't live in Northern America.
You obviously already saw the species observations on MO.
I see these species quite a bit when foraging here in Norway. They seem to be rather common, but not very much cared for by the myco enthusiasts. It would be cool to try to do a parallel venture here.

My overall goal is to compare the members of this group which occur in North America to those found in Europe (which I can hopefully get from herbaria/helpful individuals) to confirm that the European names are accurate in North America and describe the full scope of variation observed in North American collections.
I don't know if I'll be able to get funding, but hopefully it'll work out.

I've seen observations at least reported to be in this area, but I've never found any (and I'd love to see/record them.....)
PNW mushrooms lists them as uncommon for aeuginosa and caerulea and rare for psudocyanea. I see lots of ambigua and I think perhaps once Leratiomyces riparius (aka Stropharia riparius).
If I ever see any I can let you know - I could even collect some if you like.
If you've got other species interests feel free to browse my collection - there's some 850 images and not a ton of repetition... I can probably tell you almost exactly where and when I found any of these. Though I might not be willing to tell you where my favorite morel patch is

-------------------- Disclaimer - I'm just a hobbyist and cannot absolutely guarantee any ID offered. I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.
