Amazing pictures, Raffib!  Thanks Icyurmt for that link.  I'm wondering when these usually pop up in w. v. ...I assume I would be best off looking in higher elevations, right?

Thanks again all. There are also two observations of this species from this season on inat besides the ones I posted, so worth checking there as well to possibly get a sense of fruiting times closer to your area. You could also check mushroomobserver.org.

Keymaker, I would maybe recommend using inat to search for beech in WV: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=33&subview=map&taxon_id=49202

I think that's a good starting point, as it seems to be the preferred substrate of this species. Try sugar maple and birch too (not sure what birch species folks are finding them on, never seen them on birch myself). Perhaps searching for hemlock, or places where beech and hemlock overlap, would show good habitat. Also, the preferred substrate for the species may be different down there.

Also, expect to be disappointed. I've combed through massive beech stands to no avail. They do seem to be locally abundant though, so if you find one, definitely search that area up and down.

I feel like I have the perfect habitat right here where I'm at in Maine, but I think the elevation is too low for them to pop when I'm here (usually August)

Went and checked another spot today and found some nice gregarious clusters. This log hosted the largest fruiting I've ever seen a few years ago, so maybe it's just getting started.

Also, just a reminder to 100% identify every mushroom you collect with intent to consume; Galerina loves beech too!

Very nice, philocybe! Those look prime for harvest!

Went back to the first patch today. Lots of new fruits, but not a lot of new activity in areas that have been fruiting.

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/178435064

I've been in some nice woods with well-rotted beech and birch logs galore recently and haven't found any new caerulipes spots. Lots of cool mushrooms though!

tried a new forest today. one section 50/50 maple/beech with piles of old beech logs and stumps all over. i was in a hurry so i didn't see everything but found tow patches in no time and will go back asap. 
                                         

                                         

                                         

                                         
                  both patches were surrounding stumps.

Have we finished with this "beech in hemlock forest" thing and we're now saying to just go check around dead beech & maple debris? Cause in that case i wont have to drive an hour to find these things this year lol

I don’t think elevation matters too much... wet rotten wood in wet areas where your getting demolished by mosquitoes 🦟 ...beech and birch and basswood.... mixed conifer hemlock/beech/birch

They are popping in ny/ma. I didn’t have a lot of time to poke around and it was a new area for me, but there are quite a few of them out now.

went to a couple other spots nearby today and found more caerulipes at both places, as well as some trumpets and gymnopilus

Are these lowland habitats? They look very damp. Near streams?

Never seen these before, they are cool looking.

I give you the choice of 2 pills.

With each containing one of the following:
Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk?
Didn't think so.
This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

First spot I went to yesterday was a lowland habitat close to a stream, and I found more patches around there. but was also surprised to find the dryer looking ones away from water on a south facing slope that is definitely more “upland” habitat where I find lots of trumpets

The spot I've been scouting is predominantly beech, with lots of maple and some hemlock, didn't see any birch.  Lots of streams, eventually leading to a large manmade lake.  I have several big hills I could climb around here, facing all directions.  I've found some enoki and oysters growing off logs, some boletes, ect. 

Got one really blurry picture of what someone saw out there yesterday while fishing...


I don't think that's a good enough pic to tell, just thought I would should.  It's probably too early for w v.

I actually usually find trumpets in more lowland areas, or at least near washes, somewhat swampy areas. Or, like you mentioned, on slopes leading into these types of areas. But thats jist my experience

interesting, out of the beech forests near me i don’t usually find trumpets in the darker/wetter lowland areas. asides from the ones in my last post, those were nearby the caerulipes. plenty of craterellus ignicolor in the caerulipes areas, but those are pretty much everywhere this year

i returned to that area this morning and found a few more patches, some more gyms too. going to check out some different beech forest this afternoon!
