Oh buddy, violating several forum rules on your first post.  I get it, I have family in Mass, literacy ain't big there.

But seriously, please review the forum rules:

I spread stem butts and colonized wood around. How long would it take for mushrooms to grow in these spots if it’s successful?

What kind of wood did you place the butts in?  Was it woodchips or solid wood? 

If it's chips, it would be a year to several before fruiting, and that's if they take.  If you do a real good job prepping and tending a bed they will fruit the next year.

So I was walking on one of the paths about 20ft from the cyan patch, and stumbled across these!!! More cyans! I’m excited to see how well these ones fruit compared to the other patch

Those are probably Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata.

What makes you say that? I’m pretty confident they are cyanescens, check out the other pictures in the thread.

Ovoids don't look like that, those are more cyans

I'd say keep a very close eye on this very special area you've come across-- peel your eyes extra hard, they could be all over the place. I remember during ovoid season I'd have a thought like "Hmm, that shrub looks promising even though it's pretty far from the patch, I'll just take a quick peek," and then bam, another giant cluster hiding right underneath, and they just kept coming as long as I kept looking. Bring a leafblower maybe... :evil:

I’ll definitely look even closer next time I go check them. At the main patch I always look super close, sometimes they are just poking out from under the leaves and once I lift the leaves up there’s a bunch. Next time I go I’ll spend an extra long time staring at the ground nearby haha

Here’s more pics of the main patch from when I was there yesterday.









In the last pic you can see how they hide under the leaves and just barely poke out. The first 3 pics are all of the same spot where good clusters have been growing. So many thorny plants. Hard to take good pics without being stabbed lol

Those are definitely cyans, and I bet if you could get rid of some of the leaves with a blower you’d probably find more patches. If they have been blowing spores around that area for a few years, they could be in many different nearby spots already. If it’s a big hiking, dog walking, biking spot or any activity like that the spores get spread rapidly through the human/animal traffic in and around the area.

Reviving this thread for the 4th year in a row… It was on this day last year that I first found them that season. Sadly, I’ve moved away from the area so I won’t be able to check it frequently. I still should be able to head out there there once and see how things are going, or one of my friends might go check it out. I’ll be sure to post pictures. Last season we spread myc all throughout the areas around the spot so hopefully that helped them out. When I head out there, I’m hoping to gather some myc to spread to an area closer to where I am now. New Englanders and North East people, get out there and look for some Cyans or other fall actives!

The woods might not be the right place to look.. At least completely untouched woods. Think of places like parks with mulch and wood chip paths that have a crossover between natural and manmade. Something like a mulch plant bed in a shopping complex that is well manicured wouldn’t be a good option. They’ve been found at New York Botanical Garden and Inwood Hill Park in NY. So these areas have human intervention like mulch, woodchips, and plants, but are not so well manicured that they have a lack of diversity. Look at these areas on the maps, they’re dense with trees and natural foliage, but also have some human intervention. It would be helpful for some more experienced Cyan hunters to chime in, especially ones that have found them in the East. I’m no expert, but these are my observations from familiarizing myself with Cyans and other fall actives in our area. Hope that helps.

Happy to announce that the cyans have appeared for the 4th year in a row now. Now that I’ve moved away from this area, I felt more comfortable showing some zoomed out pictures of the spot. That picture is all I was able to find, I had to push aside a lot of leaves and found those little ones. The main spot that has had the most in the past has become very overgrown with thorny plants, even more than before. The large wood chip pile has also been completely removed, you can see the outline of where it was. There was probably more growing, but due to me forgetting the sun would set so early because of daylight savings, I wasn’t able to spot anymore. I could have ventured into the thorny plant area to find more, but I didn’t want to do that without being able to see them before entering the thorny area. Also didn’t want to risk potentially stepping on a bunch I couldn’t see. Overall, I’m happy I got the chance to see the few I did and I’m glad they are still going strong.

Cool. I’m sure they’ve spread to some neighboring areas.

Now that I've since moved away from the area, and will only be back very occasionally to visit people, I've decided I should share some more revealing pictures of the spot to you all. I was worried before about one of you finding my spot, but I don't really care anymore. I'm just hoping these pictures will help other New England people locate their own spots and learn more about these.


2023 ^ main patch (this is the left side of the woodchip pile that can be seen in my last photo or from my last post showing where the woodchips were removed)

2023, area they spread to ~20-30ft away from main patch ^^

2023, clusters under the thorns ^^

2022 close up ^^ lots of those cylinder wood like things on the ground. I've noticed these in PNW photos of Cyans.

2022 far away shot of the spot ^^


Hope this helps! I'd be happy to answer any question anyone has also.

It’s always nice to share! The forum members on here have been generous to me on my journey with psilocybe, and it’s nice to pay it forward so to speak. 👍

Agreed. There’s a lot of great people on here that have taught me a lot. I’d love to see some other New Englanders find Cyans or some of the other woodlovers that can be found in New England. If anyone has any questions, please, ask away! And remember, get out there and look for cyans or other wood lovers this time of year, they’re out there! Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can work out how to locate potential habitats for these in the Northeast. I’d love to find a spot close to where I’m located now. Then again, these may have been planted by someone else. Wish I knew how they got there!
