I always pull, but like i said i hunt weilii...




...as you can see hardly any myc on the base of the stipes.

So with cyans the myc only grown on the woodchips, it doesnt spread into the ground at all?

Oh yeah the weilii in the pic at bottom cum from a patch ive been picking at for 4 years.

hey man thats really cool you have researched enough to even ask that question. most people that dont know have already destroyed thousands of cyan patches near seattle by just pulling them out of the ground.

yes, scissors will help the patch perpetuate without slowing it down.

to tell you the truth, i had 7 patches to myself one year, it was great , the beginning of next year i told a few kids about 6 of them to try and help share, by the following season i had 1 patch cause the others were destroyed

scissors! 

and yeah, if someone less lazy of me would search out a pic of some newb posting a severely large chunk of mycelium and woodchip hanging from a cyan that would be awesome......and heartbreaking. yet informative.

We have azures, stuntziis, and libs too, though.

I would say azures are right up there with cyans but cyans are still the more potent out of the group.
Also cyans can get pretty big around here too

Cyans are woodlovers, they prefer aldur or cedar chips but ife found cyans growing off dead logs, pinecones and even live trees.
Your best bet would be looking in "Paths of manmade destruction" such as sites where they have cut down trees or spread woodchips on pathways.
I have pictures of wild cyans growing too.

Cyans won't grow in cedar or hemlock.

I have a patch in that colonize on cedar.

Is there anything incorrect or anything that can be added? I tried finding pictures of cyans in their natural habitat, but the board was either a little lacking or more likely my skills in searching the board were lacking.

I'm south of Portland and basically plan on scouring every city park I can find from Woodburn to Lake Oswego. Has anyone at all in the area had luck in the past in this area? More importantly, has anyone in the area struck gold yet? (obviously it's a little early for that, but please be sure to post when/if you find anything, it would really boost my confidence in finding them myself)

Also, how common are these neat little boomers here? I mean, in any given "likely" habitat you search, what are the odds you'll stumble across a patch?

Take a look at some of my pictures, their from my cell phone last year so th quality isnt the best but it shows cyans in their "natural habitat" colonizing in the wild which is very rare.
Im not sure if they grow in oregon or not so somebody else wil have to answer that, but azuresence grow in your area.
The odds of you finding a patch in seattle are great though. They say if you go into th city and walk 10 miles in any direction you should find them and if not your not looking hard enough.

anyway the rain is finally comming down so once the temp drops I believe they will be fruiting.

I wouldnt try it this early, it wont be too promising. Wait untill season kicks in full swing.
