Nice finds! I haven’t been to our last hunting spot in a while  I’m leaving it up to you , so make sure you don’t let them go to waste lol. Cheers to finding new spots in the future

Wouldnt dream of letting them go to waste

They go for broke with their first flush.

Sure they have second and third flushes, but that first one is their money maker I think.

Happy season guys!

Good that you found some voids finally kentucky man. We were rooting for ya. Our spots in Pennsylvania are still producing surprisingly. Welll, coming to an end I should say. Coulda made out with probably a pound of dried shrooms if I wanted, but I stopped at a few ounces because what would I do with so many???!

Since the thread may wind down until fall I will end in a high note with my best pics of the season:

Thanks buddy!

Do ovoids fruit in the fall in Pennsylvania?

They do fruit in the fall in PA, and questioning about through the entire summer if you aren't afraid to dig through the weeds/overgrowth for smaller flushes.

I took a real quick look yesterday mainly just trying to keep my mind straight, but wondering if I could have found what Pedelmaster found on his bike ride if I wasn't just quickly seeing if they were there(not sure I'd be picking any more until fall besides the one little one here and maybe one or two for within the next few days because of what I am being told and noticing about myself recently and these seem to help).

I’ve been told new patches from scratch will likely take a year or so to begin fruiting. Not from experience do I say this.

Yes, orange Joe will be our spokesperson and let us know if they fruit all summer.

I thought that was from using stem butts though?

I started up mine in a big old half whiskey barrel planter. It's filled all the way up with soil with about a 12 inch layer of colonizing mycellium at the top. I also keep adding more wood on the top when the mycellium starts showing

I also have some other big pots going the same exact way. So far the oldest one has almost totally devoured all the wood chips and debris that I fed it and it's a solid block of mycellium underneath the new wood that I add. The tubs also never gets dry and I water them every couple of days or so.

I believe the reason why the season is so short and awful now,  is because it gets too hot and it doesn't rain nearly the whole summer fall and winter here anymore. last summer,  fall and winter was the driest that we've ever had on record! I think becuse of this,  the mycellium just doesn't get the moisture it needs to fruit properly the following spring. It didn't even start properly raining here until ovoid season was nearly over and what I did find,  was always growing out of piles of very dry wood debris.

So I figure,  if I keep my home made patches thoroughly fed and watered,  there is no reason why they shouldn't fruit this next spring

Not doing anything new here, but just wanna share with the east coast ovoid bros a little experiment im trying. I took 2 talenti gelato containers and poked 8 holes roughly 1.5 inches apart at the bottom on the sides of the container with a thumbtack, and poked the same amount of holes around the middle section of the container. Then i took some wild chips from a local mulch pile, hydrated them and threw that in the container along with 3tbsp of sawdust and a bunch of ovoid stembutts.
I wanted to see if theyed colonize better in the fridge vs roomtemp
Heres results from leaving in my fridge(made on may 30th):

my control container that sat at roomtemp was doing okay at first until fungus gnats took over so i trashed that lol

Anywayss i know its best to just make a patch outside, itd colonize faster and you can basically forget about it once youve made them a nice home. But the purpose was to see how well itd do in the fridge. Maybe good idea if its dead winter and you want to expand some stembutts or wild spawn to more chips for more patches to plant in upcoming spring. I like the talenti containers cuz its a very clear but sturdy plastic and the holes were easy to poke through without it cracking. Theres likely better containers but these were the best i had on hand
