We brought this patch some water a few days ago so I could see what would happen. It was a great idea! So glad this is down the road I can provide gallons of water easily. I had a photo of the new pin clusters coming in but it was a bit blurry.

Nice finds! Hoping to find my first ever ovoids this season, don't think we've been getting enough rain here in Washington though. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough

be careful toting jugs of water into the woods. it's a sure fire way to draw unwanted attention.

Word, it’s not exactly a wooded area, but I know what you mean. With all these people out lately this is a morning or right at sunset mission. We carry our water jugs in backpacks for concealment.

I've been wanting to knock ovoids off my active finds list if only I can find just one good specimen for a spore print to make patches down around me
great question! nice ratings too

*bump*
I'm hoping this thread has been inactive because everyone was just waiting for todays rain to go out and find YUGE flushes of ovoids?

I’ve been tending to a patch due to the dry spell but nothing extra exciting yet. Hoping these next couple weeks it flushes the motherlode that I anticipate. I’m so thankful for the cloud cover today.

You are, stop getting them so wet. They like being dry too. If I was watering ovoids I'd be sure they got soaked but that they also had adequate draining so they're not sitting in it.
They have a lot of moisture around them growing in a microclimate like that. You should never have to help a microclimate during bad conditions, just let it do its thing, it knows what it's supposed to do with what it has, and what it is capable of. Leave them be it's always always always for the best and never the worst. I'm sure it's the cold not the water. Ovoids like soil that can dry fast but stays generally wet and gets lots of sun. Without all that it's just gonna sit.
I found these ovoids fruiting in this random planter that I saw somewhere.
Judging by the mycelium, they were clearly harvested off stem butts and chips out of Portland in 2016 and naturalized the past 3 seasons. They also appear to have a genetic heritage to specimens collected in Ohio. Doesn't get any closer to the source than that.
It's very nice to see them yet again. I don't think they'll have problems taking hold and sticking around. I'd imagine this person intends to spawn the entire planter when the season is over.


There have only been about 6-12 so far, all smaller than a Bic lighter. Some of them are growing underneath what appears to be a layer of tended verm, coir and woody soil. They keep getting watered by somebody but the cold is causing weak fruits like this, growing underground, and not knotting up and wadding like they do. I scratched a little of the surface today and they're starting.
I think that person is keeping them damp with hot water at night, and letting them sit in direct sun all day. South African cyans and Poland serbica have also randomly sprouted out of this during both spring and fall, so we will see. That heritage is from discovery specimens and I can only hope they naturalize here into spring fruiters.
Edit: Here are the spores. Will get a pic of a print when I get another one. I was only pulling purple prints the last few weeks. They're a little bit more brown lately, but still noticeable purple within the tan, almost a violet-type brown, bordering on a red when deposits are light, fading into purple brown as they get heavier. They've only recently started bruising hard on their own. But generally they've been staying beige. This is more or less average fruit size with approximately 2cm stipes that dry very fast on their own into next to nothing.

you can easily overwater a patch, I'm pretty sure that drying out is part of their natural progression and constant moisture is detrimental overall.

After several weeks of dry, sunny weather the spring rain is here! This will be my first season searching for spring fruiters (ovoids). Do any of you veterans here know if this strange weather cycle will effect the season? I'm a little south of Seattle if that makes a difference.

Found one today. It's pretty small though and didn't stick around to find more, just grabbed this one to get a spore print. How many days should I wait to check again?

Stopped by the patch this morning. These wavy guys grow in with the ovoid patch and I almost wonder if they’re cyanescens , or ovoideocystidiata. They’ve spored out at that small size.

Logged out areas? [Re: TheDuder]

I was wondering if maybe they grow in logged out areas? I was thinking with the last few days of rain that I might check out some of the logging roads in my area.
I've never hunted any of the logging areas, so I don't know if there's anything to be found there or not. Thanks!

From what I understand yes logging clearings are great area to check but I don’t know if the spring variety grows there I do know that fall is a good time to check. But I also don’t know much so read a bit on your own mayb

in logged areas this time of year in PNW probably only gymnopilus species on dead conifers and panaleous species (mostly probably inactive or extremely weak) in grazed grassy cuts. as far as actives go.
ovoids don't grow out there. (Yet- i think they could. cyans and baeos and stunzii too) in the fall time there are some clear cuts with Psilocybe pelliculosa in them
