More success.

The grass is Japanese stilt grass. It’s what’s in these two pictures.

Thanks for the info koods. It's pretty badass how much ovoids love decaying invasive plants

Today I went to check out where I found them last May in SE ohio and no ovoids happening yet. They chipped more trees and left the debris so probably a good thing in the long run. I ventured across the river into WVA and found some prime habitats but no ovoids. Did see some giant mushrooms I think where called wine caps earlier in this thread and galerina. Took a cute picture of a slug eating suspected Galerina. It must not bug them.
i brought home a nice chunk of very rotten log with suspected ovoid mycelium on it and half buried it in some mulch near the house. Will be interesting to see if anything fruits from it.
No pins yet in Central Ohio mulch beds either. wait wait waiting...

LOL! My question was so badly phrased... I was trying to ask if ovoids are found near/under ostrich fern.

Not often, but I have found them growing among ostrich fern. It's a pain to look thru tho.

How do these habitat shots looks for ovoids? I’m a first year hunter and am hoping for some success this season. I didn’t see anything though after walking around for two hours. I’m in the DMV region so that’s a little discouraging. Hoping the season hasn’t kicked off yet in that area.

I have found the bell shaped ones on wood chip mulch piles in NJ. Every time I see them growing with that bell pheno they seem to be on more woody material farther removed from grasses and soil. Like for instance on logs or in places with very thick mulch

You should avoid areas that look like the first photo and stay in those that look like the second photo. Still early in your area from the looks of it, maybe a week out.

Any more luck down your way?
Oh yeah. Everywhere except the mulched paths--which we know for a fact are super late fruiters at that particular site--has been producing throughout that general vicinity.
It would be so money if we ccould get off the train to windyville.

The pileus is hygrophanous in ovoids (and many other mushrooms); it changes color based upon water content. It also changes color with age as it begins the process of rot/decomposition.

Got pictures?
it would be really cool if the community discovered a new species or distinct subspecies of ovoid.
I'll be having my first finds within a few days here. I'll post pictures of both the mulch finds I have as well as fresh wild specimens I find. I'm very curious about where this will go. Im even more than willing to share spore prints with anyone who knows what they are looking at or whatever to help make this happen. It would be cool for us to discover a subspecies or different phenotype or something.
I live right in the central susquehanna valley about 30 minutes from Montgomery where the species was classified by whatever his name was.
Here is an example of pins found here today. Not by me but a fellow shroomerite.

I could swear I walked through those places last year near Sugarland Run but I'm sure there are plenty of lookalikes in the DMV area. I didn't have any success in either habitat, although I have reason to believe others have.
Others in this thread said all floodplains have boxelders but that hasn't been my experience. A lot of the areas I have walked through recently looking for morels had none. I don't think there are any in your first photo, the second photo looks more likely to have some but it's hard to tell.
I would learn to ID them. Once they start to have leaves it's easier because they look like poison ivy. I think their trunks look like elephant legs.

went to my spot again this AM. it's realllly easy to miss these guys. i stumbled upon this spot by dumb luck (i wasnt looking for them and I actually had no idea these were active)...it's right on the side of a road...next to a parking space...doesn't get much more easy that that

Id be careful comsuming mushrooms on the side of the road. They are absorbing heavy metals, and oil run off

Mushrooms dont absorb chemicals from the substrate, some guy grew a bunch of cubes on used cig butts with no ill results
Those are some very good looking mushrooms, great find
