Y'all have some good looking patches boomin'!
About 3 weeks ago I found one small patch of cyans in a backyard of a customers place I was working at. That was a cool surprise for the day.
In my area (Humboldt) the fungi in general are poppin' everywhere, it's been much wetter this fall so far compared to last time around. I've kept an eye out for actives when I'm out & about but haven't found anything else yet.
I'd like to find some cyans in the dunes, it'd be cool to find 'em growing in a natural/wild environment like that. I took a stroll around the dunes recently and that's such a different habitat/setting compared to urban hunting, I totally had to re-calibrate my eyes & approach to hunting lol. Generally though I was checking out areas that were shaded, moist, and looked to have accumulated detritus/woody debris.
If anyone has any tips about hunting actives in coastal dunes LMK...Not asking for spots, I'm mostly just curious if they're associated with a particular plant/habitat or zone within the dunes? I've heard "they're in the lupins", and they're in the ice-plants, and in the clumps of dune grass.

we can find them later than that of course, but much less frequently
That's what I've observed as well.

Interesting!
Those are beautiful mushrooms, what ever they are.
I can def see the sub look to em'.

I found 8 or 9 of these clusters and instantly thought of that awesome patch that ZenZone posted early on in the season
Cool!
Those are some primo looking cyans. I dig the aesthetic of em' growing through the pebbles, neat!
Last year I found a small patch of cyans growing in a rock/pebble bed someone had in their yard, I imagine they used to have woodchip/mulch in the same spot previously.
I've only been out actively looking for fruits around town twice so far this season but haven't found a thing. I did find one patch of cyans in the backyard of a customer's place I was working at back in October. And I've tried hunting the coastal dunes in my area but it's such a new habitat/setting for me it is a bit daunting with how much area one has to walk through/hunt, versus urban hunting where it is very obvious where they could potentially be fruiting (mulched landscaping), hunting dunes/natural habitats is a whole other game lol, they can be almost anywhere (tho I do try to focus on areas with shade/moisture retention and lots of lignin rich detritus built up).
I now live in area that has a much more ideal climate for woodlovers compared to where I used to live, I'm on the northern coast of Cali, but the town/urban areas here just don't really have a lot of primo habitats/wood chips for woodlovers. The town I used to live in had tons of shopping plazas and commercial areas and restaurants with wide swaths of mulched/woodchips in landscapes, where I'm at now there just doesn't seem to be many places with woodchips/habitat for woodlovers even tho the climate is absolutely ideal for them.
I just need to get a patch of my on going in a pot/planter of sorts.
