Damn guys, somebody found my god patch from last year and tore it up big time, or possibly just some kids stepped all over it and dug up the ground a bit cause there was definitely clusters missing that werent there last week, and also a chunk of the ground looked like it had been dug out where you could see myc exposed absolutely raging through the ground but i guess one year was all she wrote for this spot 😆 but it is strange as there was a fair bit of large cyans left behind hiding in the grass, and even some good sized ones exposed. I honestly cant tell if someone picked em or it was just somebody stomping on em, cause some of the clusters were flattened to the ground. I guess it is entirely poasible the dug out myc may just have been some kid dragging his shoe across the clusters but ig ill have to keep an eye on it. This spot flushed relentlessly last year from the start of november all the way to mid january. Producing 20oz dry!!! But even before this incident the patch was alot smaller than last year as the park workers dug out the bush that they loved to grow in, and placed a fresh bed of woodchips down so that they were only growing on the perimeter of the patch where the old woodchips were still exposed. I guess best case scenario here is that some dumb kids were just stomping on em cause if thats the case this spot is probably gonna go crazy next year once the new chips decaying get taken over by the raging mycelium but if somebody did find it good for you fellow seattleite, but for the love of god dont stomp on all the pins and medium sized cyans and maybe don't drag your feet on the ground so hard that you are diggin up the ground so hard that you can see pure white raging mycelium exposed to the elements! All good though i got plenty for my purposes last year anyways 😆 i just hope i can continue to watch them grow there for years to come as its been a long time that i have found an undisturbed patch so close to my house that i can check on often and watch them grow up! But like all seattle parks, that isn't realistic, its a miracle they went all of last season undiscovered with how out in the open and obvious the patch was
