Went out for a lil today at the early spot. Was able to observe lots of small early fruits. These things can be really tiny, for being mature, when the spring is just getting started. Checked out another spot yesterday, but it looks like it'll be another 10 days before that area sees any kinda action. The only thing I found was some pins on a transplant (early fruiting variety) that must of been in a warmer location than my other transplants, because my other ones didn't have anything yet. Things should really pick up after next weekend. 
Here's some finds from today

I envy these clusters things here have stalled from the cold snap

Dieing here guys. They pinned here wednesday and the cold snap stopped everything. Grrr. It's frustrating to know they are popping but not have any early fruiting spots or spots that are fruiting yet.

I see what you're seeing on the right, but yes they all bruised heavy blue. I did make that mistake last year when I first started finding them but caught them by prints.

Here's a bunch I found in some buried wood chips under a tree in a park in Princeton, NJ and by a creek last year. Went back and checked the Mycelium on my way back to MA a few days ago and everything was really colonized and a whole playground was colonized about 4-5 inches deep. I'll be heading back out in a week or so to look around Maryland again and check on the other spots again.

Just as I said I'm not finding the bell shaped ones, it happened.. Found them in an old spot, pretty close to the regular kind. Maybe a dozen or so feet away! These were attached to small decaying branches that are not easily visible.

Koods if that'a a Boxelder distribution map, then maybe that's why my friends have found them where I'm at in NY. That little spike continues up where I live, and we have a ton of box elder trees here.

I'm not sure MD is better than anywhere else. VA is pretty banging and we see a whole lot up in PA. It's still early season and most of the spots are still struggling from the cold snap, even here. If anything, there may be more ppl actively spreading these around to new spots. Spreading them around will boost areas up nice and I suggest anyone not doing so to start practicing transplants and expanding spawn for seeding places. It's really easy to take a small bag of spawn or stem butts with you when looking thru new areas. Even if they're not in a new spot you may check out, you can greatly increase the chances of them being there in the future by just doing something as simple as sticking stem butts in debris piles as you hike around. That and remembering to feed your producing spots will go a long way.

Well, hopefully tonight and tomorrow rains and 70 degree weather will bring some out here making it worth hunting this week.

There is definitely no shortage of voids here in PA i just tend to find more and more as a go further south in the state, that leads me to belive the sweet spot for ovoids is just south of PA. Last season I had a massive harvest and I expect much more this year. My favorite way to start new mulch patches involves transplanting a section of the mycelium that has pins. I fill a cardboard tray, (the kind cans come in at the store) with mycelium and pins without didturbing them. I plant the cardboard tray in a fresh bed, and let the pins mature. Its a great way to start a new patch instantly instead of waiting till next season for stembutts. Ovoids were discovered here in PA first and it is definitely an amazing territory I am proud to hunt

Well done. I used to hunt there, never found any, and then pretty intensively seeded the stafford side as well as a few spots on the Fred'Vegas side. That was 4 and 3 years ago after finding them farther south and creating buckets of spawn at my house.
I never went back there to hunt it again and although your finds probably aren't from my work seeding the area, it feels good to know that they're thriving on the Rapp now and someone is finding them. My hunting partner went there yesterday and found many pins around the area so it should be good again in about 5 days or so.
Thx for posting those f'burg finds.

On the west coast, they only seem to grow natively in the Bay Area 🤷♂️
And I’m pretty sure the one Connecticut find was in the northwest corner of the state.
On the other hand, there have been finds on Long Island.
My area is outside the native range on that map, but boxelder is ALL over the place around here, especially in the typical floodplain habitats. From Wikipedia it sounds like boxelder has had a huge expansion since WW2. Maybe ovoids are trying to catch up with it?

I'm happy to report I found my 1st today even with the temp drop & the high winds the past few days.
. 
You know the saying "The grass is always greener..."? Well, I think the same thing can be said about the river. I found that little guy up from my old spot in an established debris pile along with some more wine caps.

If so, where would be the suggested habitat?
As others have said, check mulch beds and woodchip dumps at parks and other. Definitely in Westchester County. There are posts on Mushroom Observer. I never got around to adding Rye and Ryebrook to those. Nothing more specific than that to avoid breaking the rules have fun hunting. G

That’s pretty disheartening to see the box elder map. I’m on the coastal portion of NC. Am I SOL looking in my area unless I go west?
Been looking in mulch beds no luck yet.
