Mushroom Season Guide:

122 Upvotes

Ah, the best time of the year. Just wanted to do a quick PSA for the season. Will probably update this a few times as we move into seasonz just chucking it together as ive seen some mushies pop up now.

☆☆☆ This is Epecially for the newbies. ☆☆☆

You are WELCOME to post up pics of what you find, picked or in habitat.

If you want an ID, you MUST meet the criteria or your post will be removed:

CLEAR PHOTOS

MULTIPLE ANGLES (cap, gills, habitat)

[Do NOT eat anything you arent 105% confident on]

.

There are a couple of DEADLY lookalikes. Galerina and Claviceps are examples.

There are SEVERAL mushroom.facebook groups, including Magical Mycology NZ and PMANZ

It is HIGHLY suggested that you spend a good amount of time having a peek around these groups, THIS SUB, and the wider internet to get an IDEA of what youre looking for.

Last season, (and this season already) we had people post up pics of mushrooms that werent even CLOSE. literally just random shit they saw and went 'iS tHiS tHe gOoDs'. Bro no, if you didnt do a smidge of research and wanna clog up peoples feeds youre gonna get a warning. Same goes for low effort spots posts.

Like i say, ya welcome to post but try to think before you just start grabbing mushrooms, theres a couple MAIN ones you should be looking for.

Ps. subaeruginosa, Ps. weraroa and Ps. aucklandiae are the best starts. Keep some pics of them on your phone before you go hunting.

Links to Reference Posts:

Psilocybe weraroa

Psilocybe Subareuginosa

Psilocybe Aucklandiae

Looking forward to seeing what you guys can spot!

Can we also please steer away from discussion of consumption and prep. Make reasonable calls for whats sub appropriate to keep us up and thriving.

Appreciate you guys, Plant Fam.

I know this isn't a sub, but I'm curious to learn more info about it! I've never seen a mushroom like it

Out of season mushrooms

5 Upvotes

Hey All,

With the season coming to an end (I unfortunately didn't find anything this year), are there any mushrooms worth looking for over the next couple of months?

My friend who provided spores has since moved overseas so I am back to forest finds only.

I hope you all had a good season! I have seen some nice finds posted here.

Beginner forager, first possible ever find after a few months of getting out and searching. found in private wood chip/bark garden. Just the lonesome and a few days after last rain. Is this a sub? And is it too old given its condition? Thanks in advance!

Do you know anyone that has been poisoned from eating the wrong type of mushroom?

5 Upvotes

I see lots of posts asking for mushroom ID which is great and I’m all for harm reduction but has anyone heard of or know of anyone that have eaten toxic mushrooms or taken a bunch of mushrooms that were not psilocybe? Ended up in hospital or got really sick?

From all the ID posts it makes me wonder how many people haven’t ID’d correctly and if someone has chowed down on a couple grams of galerina or similar?


r/MagicPlantsNZ 6d ago

ID confirmation on these please?

Found these at three different spots, so have grouped them in the photos of the ones that were found together.

Reasonably confident, but the aged ones seem a little harder to ID.

Are they all Psilocybe Subaeruginosa?

Till next year ✨

At the moment all though mushroom season is ending and subs are even harder to find, I'm now looking for aminita muscarias, I'd like to try decarboxylating them and making gummies


r/MagicPlantsNZ 6d ago

Maybe ???

Wanted to check all these, believe they are all fine but just checking. And thoughts on when they are aged like the big ones?

Foraging crew? 🍄‍🟫

Yo anyone keen to go foraging tmr? I don’t know many spots yet but found one online so thought it could be worth checking out. I’m in Auckland-CBD so closer is ideal, but I’m sweet to travel a bit too.

Bonus if you’re 420 friendly!!!

Found this absolute monster hiding with a bunch of equally substantial buddies. Good ol council gardens. Just when I was beginning to think Wellington was done.
