looks like I see some fruits in that towards the bottom right hand.

I remember seeing that when I took the picture. The patch is under a box elder tree and I think it was from birds dropping or crapping out some pieces of berries. I would double check again but it is under quite a bit of snow.

It seems like all the “perfect” ovoid habitats I find have fallen & dead standing box elder trees that are booming with wood ears & dryads.
Does anyone find those at their spots?
Are dryads & wood ears good indicator species, or do they outcompete ovoids?

When I see the dryad's I know the ovoids are close to fruiting in the early spring. Dryad's usually don't compete with ovoids and are highly outnumbered.

I find all three species of fungi (dryads, wood ears, and ovoids) in the same areas with lots of box elders. But IME, ovoids are always the hardest to spot.
This reminds me I need to figure out wood ear foraging. Spending too much $$$ these days for the desiccated ones at the Chinese market.

Awesome new, guys! Thanks a lot.
@LeafRaker: Sounds like you've already figured out wood ear foraging. Keep checking the box elders. I saw some fresh ones in the snow yesterday.

Idk if I live in ovoid heaven but in the spring I can find them around every stream and river in the entire western part of PA. anywhere with trees, decaying wood, mulch, or moving water.
The guide I wrote includes indicative plant species, however I will soon update with pics of indicator mushrooms and deadly lookalikes.

We're in the same area shroomhunts, definitely an ovoid heaven. When I first started hunting years ago I couldn't find them for like 2 years.And like you said,now I find them everywhere I look even when I'm not particularly looking for them. I guess it comes down to training your eyes to recognize the characteristics of ovoids and they just pop out easily.

Can't wait for season to swing around. Since getting their ideal habitat nailed down, been searching around and got a number of different spots marked now to check when it starts to warm up. Finds down here are still kind of sparse, but i think it's more so for a lack of looking. Looking to pull some shroomhunt hauls

I actually think you guys might actually be in ovoid heaven! It sounds like both sides of mountains near the Gulf of Mexico/Chesapeake drainage divide might be ground zero for ovoids. Seeing that university student's post about bioinformatics projects makes me want to see an ovoid family tree, both considering their geographic dispersion and their phenotypic variation.
Looking forward to spring and an updated hunting guide!

You might be even more jealous when I tell you they were one of three flushes...on my own lawn! It definitely felt like the mushrooms finding me!

Compost added the fall before...Cincts are a May species in my part of the world. And the rabbits, whose populations were absolutely booming in those years, loved to leave their little piles near there. There's also a lot of horses nearby.
I've moved again and have no lawn for now. I do wonder about using horse manure with leaf compost with a lawn if I ever get one again and seeing if the cincts can become permanent fixtures.

If you spread horse manure in your lawn you will 100% see some pans pop up, whether or not they are the active kind is up to luck

I've been waiting for a family tree to be done if possible. Too many variations.

Yes it is very possible that what we call ovoids are actually multiple species that share similar habitat and attributes. The variance in these mushrooms is unrivaled by any other species I have observed. Obviously things like substrate and environmental conditions can cause the appearance of a mushroom to change but it seems like more than that with ovoids. I recently made a collection of what alan says is a newly documented species in PA. I just thought they were funky ovoids but he thinks they may be something new. The same species was found in Florida far past the previously recorded range of ovoids
