It'll grow back if there's more chips replaced. What I would do if I were slab100 is transfer those chips to wet cardboard while it's still fresh, and make new spots

we made the trip to the bay today. We found a few handfulls of stunzis and cyans. We found 2 fibs. We also found a huge patch of dried cyans just 30 miles from sacramento. There was 1 lone pin that was fresh and the mycelia mat was 3x20'. I cant wait for that to flush next year. I will post pics in a few minutes

ahh im sorry fi i came off angry. i have just seen so many hunters on here just rip out the whole thing. i guess most dont know when you do that you lessen the chances of it fruiting again, but i do agree with you on the mycelia, taking it home and making an ew spot is good to.

I think what it really is, is that some strains can handle mycelial tears better than others, slab100's spot looks nice and healthy and it looks like it has plenty of food too. any fruiting after that will just come up in different places.
It's sort of what I noticed about this late season here in the bay area too. Just about all the spots coming up now are the real healthy vigorous type of strains. There's alot of places where there's no fruitings right now, so those vigorous strains should be promoted. It really is a big difference between different strains of cyans. I've put some on cardboard and they just sort of sit thbere, while others take off like a bunny rabbit..hehe

don't sweat it dude. normally i take scizzors and remove the shrooms. in this one instance i took the mycelium 'cause it made a cool pic and i'm going to transplant it.
in addition, this patch is *ginormous* (it literally has spread about 50' in this year alone) and this minute amount of mycelium will make no difference. it's an extremely aggressive patch that's growing balls out on a bed of 8-9" of beautius wood chips.

Killer score! lol - I've got so many shrooms I don't know what to do with them all. I went back to my patch two days ago and picked probably around 400 lunkers. And that was probably about 1/3 of what was there!
What do you say we recreate the old haight ashbury free mushroom festival romp?
I'll probably have 2lbs of dried shrooms when all is said and done.

here are some pics here are a few stunzis from the same spot that we picked a plastic grocery bag full a few months back. Just a few hundred specimens right now

A few dryer ones
 And a few pins, we might go back next week
 Some cyans from one of my hotspots
 The cyans again with fibs in the lower left corner

Now these are cyans from a town about 30 miles from sac. they are dry and trash but they are cyans indeed. There were hundreds
 How do i know that they are cyans, well one the mycelium was tough and the mat smelt like psilocybes, also the gods left this lil sample cyan just to make sure we knew what they were.

I've never actually been to Sacramanto, but I used to live in Chico as a kid almost 30 years ago, so I can't give you any locations, but I'm looking at Google Earth, and I can tell you lots of places I would want to look at, if I could ever get there without a car, and had the time :P
First of all, and this is probably the biggest hint you're going to get. Right now, here in the Bay Area, THE most common mushroom in woodchips anywhere is nicknamed the 'freeway mushroom' (hi Peter)
scientific name is Stropharia riparia, link > http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Stropharia_riparia.html
They're yellowish, and they're almost everywhere right now, while the red Stropharias occur more during December.
I'm willing to bet you can drive almost anywhere around Sacramento, probably to Davis (30 miles west) to Folsom (30 miles east, and if you drive slow enough around woodchip dumps, count over 1000 of those yellow Stropharias. Those woodchip dumps are most common around freeway overpasses, you know, where there are 4 circular loops?
As you're coming off the freeway and circling around to get onto that street, 'oh look at that, them yellow ones are all over'
THAT is the type of woodchip dump where cyanescens grows, and it's not just freeways, but ANYWHERE there's woodchips like that, including new housing developments, business parks, shopping centers, parks, city streets...yeah, pretty much anywhere they dump and spread woodchips, and especially thos places where you see other mushrooms, like those Stropharias
But I recommend a bicycle if you know of woodchip places around the Sacra tomato, simply because it is slower..Cars are often too fast, blink and you'll miss it
In fact, I heard there was a bike path on the Feather river from Sac all the way to Folsom lake, 30 miles long...
I'd love to bike that someday if I ever have the time. I'll bet there's more than one woodchip area along there
From what I can see with Google Earth, the entire greater Sac area is semi-suburbs, just like the Bay Area.
I can't give you any locations, never been there, but I can tell you how I would start looking

and my name's Jeff, already posted here, glad to meet you. hat 'scenery ' landscaping woodchip dump is exactly what I'm talking about, and since there are already other species growing there, it means they are not spraying it with fungicide. So I would check that place at least once or twice a year
I'm not suprised about the Feather river. I could almost see it on Google Earth, even tho it's 5 years ago...It's prime real estate, and newer developments here in the greater bay area often now have large woodchip dumps....Woodchips, for some odd reason, is now the new 'IN' thing for landscaping....Do they really know?....it's diabolical what I'vbe seen here recently....I mean miles and miules of chips in some places
This is a good thing...Um....I think......I just know if this 'scenic landscaping' keeps up I'm going to break my back like a mule hauling out a spot one day....like 90-120 pounds :P
