Hey everyone!

It’s that time of year which means my annual update to this thread. As I’ve said before, I’ve moved away from this area so haven’t been able to check on this spot as much as I used to. However, I passed it along to a friend who will carry on the tradition. I was visiting this weekend and went to the spot.

I was pointing out to my friend the spot last year where they spread to that was away from the main patch. I saw a woodchip there that was covered in mycelium, pushed some leaves aside, and here they are! 4 years and they’re still making a comeback. Unfortunately this is all we were able to find, but I think it’s just due to the weather being a bit too warm. There was a lot of very active mycelium throughout the area.



Just some veryyyy small pins. But I think there will be a lot that pop up in the next week or so. My friend will take pictures and I’ll continue to update this thread

This is great to see.

I’m from Massachusetts.

I’ve spread ovoids for miles around where I am, and I only really check one spot that I have introduced them, and that spot has been producing every spring for 5 years now.

I’ve spread a lot of stem buts as well as colonized woodchips.

Also I’ve made a ton of what I call ovoid bombs.
Basically I make a shit load of grain spawn, then when fully colonized I mix with small woodchips and sawdust, then I fill a bunch of toilet paper tubes and paper towel tubes with this mixture.

Then I find any suitable habitat and bury them a bit in these habitats.

After searching for ovoids (NY zone 5, not far from MA) for years, I still haven’t found any. Today however I accidentally stumbled upon a giant patch of cyans in a family friends garden, just doing their thing. They were honestly everywhere I looked, I just kept finding more and more and more. 

The guy who’s garden it is has a mild obsession with wood chips (he gets several truckloads of chips from chip drop each year for mulching, so they are from tree trimming etc. not a distribution center), but these were definitely not intentionally introduced; neither myself or anybody there has ever handled cyan spores, so somehow they’ve naturally introduced and have been surviving zone 5 winters for who knows how long now.

Thanks y’all!

I’m pretty excited to try them too, I didn’t think I was going to have the chance for some time. I was very tempted to eat a few fresh, they looked so delightful, but I had other things I needed to do today. Soon..

My partner and I really like them for getting frisky

Dude! That is such a sweet magical find! Especially so randomly in an "accidental" sort of manner, at a family friend's place of all places lol, and in a region where cyanescens are somewhat rare or far & few between, not to mention it sounds & looks like they're fruiting prolifically all over that property!

I'd be so damn excited & stoked to be in your shoes and randomly spot those like you did .

I'd be like, "Those kinda look like cyans or woodlovers of some sort"...~kneels down for a better look and plucks one to look at the stipe & under the cap~..."holy shit, they ARE cyans!"...~starts looking around for more and realizes they're all over the place~


I'm assuming you've never ate any cyans or other woodlover species before? Whenever you do get around to it I'm curious to hear what you think of them. Allenii & cyans are my favorite, more potent than any cube variety I've had (tho enigma & some APE have come close) and just overall they have a special feeling & place in my heart...and I thoroughly enjoy eating them fresh, both the aspect of chewing them up fresh as well as the aspect of the effects/trip from fresh fruits (I swear there's a certain "zest" to the experience from fresh fruits that just isn't there after dried).


Looks like you'll have cyans available now every fall .

Mushrooms tend to get me supa wired & horny during the later 1/2 of the trip .
