I was out checking out the local state park in my home town, got away with a pretty decent amount of cyans, nothing compared to a motherload, but I still have yet to look, couldnt find them all due to them being very widely scattered and not clustered. Unfortunatly, I could only upload a certain amount of pictures, will add more in the next 12 hours.
Some pics from saturday:
and some from a month ago:

Nice! Were those natural habitats or leaves and twigs ontop of chipped wood?

Thats actually a natural habitat, I have yet to find cyans growing on woodchips. In some areas of this park, there were natural decidious woodchips from alder, but the majority of the ones I found were on dirt/ soil mix subtrate, with leaves twigs, etc. But still in every one of these places we found the cyans, there was a shitload of mycelium, just look in picture 5. To my suprise, there were 4 places with woodchips in this park, very shady areas by bushes, and the woodchips were taken over by vegetation, and i didnt find a single cyan, but many many LBMs, which could be any panaelus, ill post pics of these mushrooms also later.

Awesome pictures man. I really want to find some wild ones... well, any for that matter. Glad to know that you see that stuff wherever you see cyans, I see it a lot around the forest here, I think it's xylaria hypoxylon or something.
Is this park within a few miles of other places that cyans are around? The woods out where I'm at are 10 miles or so away from any areas that cyans would grow in man-made habitats, so I'm not sure if spores would be able to spread out here so well.
Pictures like yours always boost my hope, because I have such similar habitats right outside, but then I got out hunting and never find anything active. Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky some day. NICE PICTURES, in case I didn't stress that enough!

Are the ones in from the wild better. I know i have found some in this small rivene forest place, but it is a place for stormwater to run through so i wouldnt consider it wild.

hEAtOn, here are some pictures of one of the many natural habitats around here that look like they could support cyans.

 Whaddaya know? Xylaria hypoxylon within 20 feet.


This habitat look familiar? The area was right on the side of a creek, in the low of a valley, under mostly alders, and a few fur.
PLUMM, I don't think cyans from the "wild" are any better, it's just usually more rare to find them in a place where the wood they're growing off wasn't chipped by humans.

That looks like there is a lot of dirt there, where i found them were under leaves, in moss, mulch, rotten twigs, but mainly underneath sticker bushes in this particular place, they love to hide, I would keep finding them after uncovering leaves and bushes. One of the main places i have found them to be is underneath the sides of fallen alders also. And another thing is, i noticed i would find other mushooms where ever i found cyans also, so keep that in mind when you look.
""Is this park within a few miles of other places that cyans are around? The woods out where I'm at are 10 miles or so away from any areas that cyans would grow in man-made habitats, so I'm not sure if spores would be able to spread out here so well. ""
It is within about a half a mile of apartment complexes, houses, and the puget sound, its right on the puget sound, but im not sure of any cyans, also ive heard that cyanescens like to fruit next to bodies of water, so this is a good area. I would mainly just find parks with nice shady areas by fallen alder trees, and alder woodchips.
