I've found *nothing* so far. Granted this is my first time going out around these woods, so I'm not sure if I'll find anything. But I've found a total of 2 mushrooms out there...so I think I just need more time.

Not much of anything is fruiting in michigan. We need more rain and warmer nights, it has been getting cold during the night. I found some inky caps and a few other mushrooms but nothing is really popping up yet. I think it will be a few weeks before the bluefoot is out here.

Today I found the mother load of Blue foots!!!!!! They were growing on a wood chip pile in a campground. I almost pooped myself I was so excited. They look very similar to Cyans in the way that they bruise. This collection here was maybe a quarter of the patch. A cop drove in the park while the wife and I were picking so we decided that after he left we should probably get out of there with out getting greedy..

Here are some bluefeet growing in California near my home. They are not wild.

Lmao these buggers are sooo much fun. Ive fed all my friends.... They love em. I did my fair share of eating em too. So mustard man Do you think its weird that at the feild spot on the mulch, The caps are huge. I found one there yesterday that weighed about 34gs wet. Ive been munching on it for the past 5 minutes. O and im prolly not gonna go back to the feild spot ever again mustard man so I raped it yesterday. I left alot of pins but i wouldnt go back there again. Im tired of having to explain to joggers that im doing school work for uva. Although it is pretty fun to lie about being in college. O and there are some hot asians at that spot.

Northern WV here. I was out last week hunting in my usual spots but as I thought it was still a little too cold at night although I did spot mycelium . Just got back from the hunt this morning and low and be hold we got a winner. I arrived around 5:45 am was looking on one side of the creek and only found two little ones that I left alone. spotted a car so I started to walk back to mine. but they happened to be out there for the same reason I was. As I made my way to the other side they were leaving after not finding any. turns out there were my little friends the Bluefoots. That are printing as I speak .
Happy Hunting

yea still not too much of anything up here in michigan. i went out today and didn't find the bluefoot or anything else really. However, I did find a large cluster of interesting mushrooms on some rotting hay and dirt. here is the specs:
cap: 1/4 to 1 inch in diameter and cream to white colored
stem: white or cream and bruises brown on handling
base: widened at the base
gills: white , very slightly cream colored
the spores are black because on some of the mushrooms' caps, black spore stains formed.
Now obviously they are not pan. subbs or any other active, but they neat so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen there kind or had an idea of what they were. Maybe some sort of agrocybe or something.
Thanks later. ...still lookin for the bluefoot!

My wife and I decided to do a little hunting today for about an hour. We found a patch in the Cincinnati area today of approximatley 100 blue foots. It hasn't rained here in a while so they were pretty dried out. We didn't have the cam because we weren't planning on hunting. Anyways we left all but 10 of them there and are hoping it rains soon so it can fruit again.

Got some more, same spot. I think this will be the last run, as this is usually the end of the caerulipes season in my area, and also there seems to be a strange mold growing on them in masses, it looks like cobweb. I'll try to upload some pictures of them later.

I found this little cluster at the sacred shroomery bluefoot patch while guiding the hunt at the gathering this weekend.
For those hunting bluefoot I have a few suggestions to help you preserve your patches.
Disturb the vegetation as little as possible. This is difficult because they often grow under Jewel-weed which is very fragile. Bluefoot requires the humid micro-climate created by the canopy of leaves in order to set pins. If you knock down the vegetation to find bluefoot, then the patch will dry out and you will have few if any fruits from that patch until next spring.
Another conservation strategy is to save the fuzzy stem buds for deposit in potential bluefoot patches that are not yet colonized. When picking bluefoot keep two bags, one for fruit and one for feet. Pull the mushroom from the ground, snip off the dirty fuzzy bottom with a pair of sizers placing it in one bag and the clean fruit in another. Stem buds are very good at starting new colonies if placed in a suitable environment.

The ones I find are wild, not growing on chips at all. I have not seen any cedars in the areas where bluefoot naturally lives.
