Just wanted to share my Ovoid finding experience:

I found mine in SEPA a few days ago. I was playing disc golf at the time and threw my drive into a nearby marsh. While looking for my disc on a little bit of raised land in the marsh, I noticed a mushroom that really reminded me of Cubensis a FOAF grew years ago.

The raised land in the marsh was covered with 2-3 foot high woody-stemmed weeds. I'm pretty sure these were knotweeds, but I'll have to go back to ID them. Also, mixed in for my displeasure was a bunch of stinging nettles that were all about the same height as the other weeds. There was also a good bit of dead wood (I'll have to ID the trees nearby next time I'm there to see if any of them are box elders). The harder I looked for my disc in the weeds, the more and more of these mushrooms I noticed.

I never found my disc.

I picked one of the mushrooms, squeezed it hard, but it didn't bruise blue by the end of my round, so I wasn't very hopeful about it being active. I sent a picture of it to a friend who has recently been into mushroom hunting to see if he could ID it, but I threw the mushroom away before I left.

A few hours later, he said it could be an Ovoid. Makes sense that it would remind me of Cubensis.



I was in the area the next day, so I decided to stop off and see if I could find my disc... and also to collect a bag of these potential Ovoids. They were a bit dry, and looked like they already dropped their spores, but no mold on any parts of them. I noticed some of them had some blue! Bingo.

I carefully moved the base of the weeds to the side with my foot to get to the 'shrooms. They were pretty spread out with only 2-3 at most in a cluster. But they covered a pretty wide area. I must've spent a good 15-20 minutes in the weeds picking them.



My mushroom-hunting friend told my to use paper, not plastic. Maybe next time.



Here is the entire haul:



Thank you Allium and DonJonson420 for the ID!

I also went through the extra step of looking at the spores through a microscope at 900x. They were the correct "rhomboid" shape and also were tinged blackish-purple.

I hope I see more Ovoids now that I know what I'm looking for.

How many hours after the rain did you check? 12, 24, 36, 48ish? We got a good rain here last night and I'm wondering if I should check one of my patches.

That's awesome....shows where that phenotype starts.
I've looked along the West Branch a little bit in upper Pa..and not yet found them.

Been using potatoes to catch pill bugs and slugs around my patches and saw something interesting.  Apparently ovoids will grow on yellow potato.  This mycelium grew in 2-3 days.  I may try and use it to start a new wood chip patch.



I have heard people say cultivated patches don't fruit the first year but seen obvious examples in this thread that is not true all the time.  Wondering if anyone knows if starting from spores takes longer than starting from stem butts / already colonized material. Prints from mushrooms like in my avatar went to pf cake then wood chips outdoors early last summer.  By this season I had some very large, many square feet areas where ovoids have colonized wood chips into a thick cohesive block of mycelium, but they never fruited this year.  Hopefully I did not use a print from a retarded mushroom that does not want to fruit or something goofy like that.

I guess there is still a chance they fruit this year but it is starting to get late.  The patch they came from first fruited in the wild end of April.  Took a page from days past where I grew cubensis and thinly cased a couple patches with coco coir and vermiculite mix to try and get it to pin.  one area that was looking a bit dead on the top I scraped with a fork.  It was thick bright white mycelium underneath that stank like a bag of fresh ovoids do.

Rain was at 5PM, I was at the spot at 8AM. Flushed really quick in the temp & humidity here. (mid 70s-80s,  70-80% humidity)

Hey yall, I know this is off topic but what do you guys think about grinding up the shrooms then putting them in a mason jar with a ziploc for long term storage?

I've seen mixed opinions people say that grinding them up causes them to lose potency but I already grinded them lol.

Found some today in the rain, I think haha. They were a little  bit different then the ones i found previously maybe because of it being so wet outside? so im looking for confirmation. What you think guys? And for 3 hours I was disapointed but at least I found some!

awesome finds. Late season tends to pop out some weird looking ovoids, there's some serious variation out there right now. I saw three today that all looked like they could be three different species

Thanks Moria ! Yeah It finally rained nicely here, and temps havent been too high (86 yesterday for like 3 hours) so Im going to continue looking. I feel like patches are still gonna pop up hard. The ovoids I collected last friday look NOTHING like the ones above. Tanner caps, bruised easier, darker gills, but still has what i like to call the Reese’s caps (looks like a reeses cup lol)

I would not grind them up until use. Anytime you increase surface area you increase the rate of chemical reactions, like oxidation.

Potato starch functions as a prebiotic and can be use in place of inulin to produce yogurt. Inulin comes from Jerusalem Artichoke another root plant. Im starting to wonder if mushrooms feed on these fibers.

Three out of five patches that I started early last summer produced. One other was in a basement all winter and dumpped it out in some wheat grass late April and it also produced a few. All started with stem butts.


Pics from 6-4 6-6 2020, patch three, north facing.

Not sure on species but it is definitely in the pit viper family, maybe someone who knows more about snakes could ID it. Fucker tried to bite my leg after i took the pic
