For sure, man. I'll also mention that my first two seasons were in Princeton, NJ. I had basically given up hope of finding them because I assumed that I was on the complete margins of their range and that they would be very rare (despite having seen an observation on mushroom observer)
But lo and behold, this year someone posted in this thread about finding them in Princeton in an environment that looked EXACTLY like the types of places I had been looking. I think maybe I haven't been looking as carefully as one typically needs to. The one's I found today definitely didn't announce themselves.
Idk if you're mobile but perhaps you could head southwest for a little road trip? I know it's an investment of time and money on a roll of the dice but maybe you just live on the margins of their range and they aren't that prolific out there.

Yea when I can head out there I definitely am, for now I;m just going to search more carefully in the larger rivers around me.

In my brief time hunting I've definitely found the aversion to steep banked river areas to be unwarranted. I've found plenty off rivers with 5-10 foot banks provided the area is still plenty wet up above.
As long as the other conditions are correct, I wouldn't flat out avoid those areas as you may be missing some good flushes.

Yeah. I found them right next to a stream under Japanese knotweed. They appear to be ovoods but I'd like your opinion.

The photo quality isn't great but the stipe seems a bit too dark and I don't see any blue bruising. But again, that might be the photo quality.

sbkn said: I'm looking in Westchester County, would love if you looked it up it's about 45 mins north of NYC. Maybe you can give me some pointers or something but as of yet they seem to not grow in many numbers here.
A park I was recently hunting at was the Rockefeller State Park but I think it was too dry when I went.
You're right, they don't seem to occur there in vast numbers in natural habitats like they do across the Hudson. It seems most of the finds have been in landscaped mulch areas. It could be a lack of actual fruitings or lack of people looking or a lack of people posting their finds to the internet. The area looks viable so you may very well be the guy who puts them on the map. I looked up Rockefeller park and from the sat images you would think the habitat looks right but upon inspecting the google images associated with the park I doubt you would find anything around the reservoir. Try staying along the rivers above and below the dams. I'd try looking for parks directly along the Hudson that have lots of woodchip mulched areas and would be prime to flooding. Too make things easier you may have to make a trip across the Hudson.

I agree. On my phone I can see enough to tell they are older ovoids. Keep searching that area Red Lion and you'll find more.

plexxed said: Reporting from just outside Philly. Three years and it finally happened! I finally changed from checking around small creeks to a major river and that was all it took. I found them within half an hour and walked away with about 400 grams wet from one little patch.
They definitely hide. The only reason I was able to spot them is because someone had stepped on the celandine and I spotted one on the edge of where they stepped. The photo of the ground is before I had even picked a quarter of them and you can't even see them! It makes me wonder how many I've missed without even noticing.
I'm taking spore prints to confirm but I'm basically certain. The habitat. The blue bruising. I thought that they smelled the way cubes taste. But it was definitely the first time I've ever seen a mushroom that I thought could even remotely be an ovoid. Mostly everything I've seen up until now was like, "not a chance."
I'm feeling a bit dumb though because I got swept up in the moment and picked some that weren't mature. I left some pins but was definitely too grabby :/ but lesson learned
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO POSTS HERE AND RESPONDS TO NOOB QUESTIONS!
I've spent countless hours studying and searching and the thrill I felt when I finally found them was amazing lol I feel so triumphant!







Congrats, persistence pays off!

Yeah, I've spent the last three days in what looked like perfect habitat to me, boxelders and all. I'm thinking I'm making the same mistake of searching creeks & streams that are just too small, maybe. Time to drive out to the river trails.

HOLY f***
I want to thank a bunch of you guys on here.....without the constant advice and guidance my motivation would surely have been lacking.
Went out today expecting another fruitless journey, but on my way back spotted a couple shrooms....at first because of the lack of bluing I thought nothing of it, but I smelled the mushroom and the scent was identical to that of Cubensis.
I then realized there was no bluing because the ones I first found were very young.....I took a look around the area and to my surprise I found a giant patch with shrooms everywhere.....with bluing and the identical ovoid look. I'm elated to say the least after spending so much time in the woods and especially being in NY where they aren't very common.

My creek is only about 1.5 ft deep, and maybe 12 ft wide which runs for a couple of miles. Utility workers cut all the trees around the power lines a couple of years ago which was 90percent box elders which made it explode. So usually if Im finding them I. One spot I can walk the entirety of the creek and find them all the way down or up stream.

Whelp, nm then, they just aren't in my local vicinity, or I'm just bad at looking, lol.
Still, going out to a "proper" river couldn't hurt.
