Nope, just a bit of research and patience. Just keep your eyes peeled for woodchips and pine trees.

Parks and golf courses. Fresh water. Sympathetic shrubbery and lookalikes. The right kind of substrate. All you need for subs. Don't bother with pine. Harder.

Wheres the rain gone guys? Some nice frosts the last couple of mornings but have noticed a lot of patches drying up due to the wind and fine weather.

They go back into the ground about 20mins before sunrise so make sure you catch them before then. If it's a really dark and miserable day they can sometimes pop up too.
You may need to sneak up on them to catch them while they're up so employ your best stealth tactics!
Happy hunting!

Wod, your mushrooms are Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
cam82, your mushrooms are Psathyrella.
Please start a new thread for ID requests instead of posting them in the New Zealand thread. Thanks!

Awesome pics people.
This thread has inspired me to go out hunting again, after two unsuccessful seasons.

Here's a general question: What's the best way to distinguish between psilocybe subaeruginosa and stropharia aurantica? I keep seeing auranticas with orange tops and umbos, and darkish gills. I pick them and the stems are orange, and don't stain blue. I would hate to bombard this site with Aurantica ID requests, so I think I just need a little more info.
Wod's find looks like the kind of thing I'd pass over as the common aurantica. I've never seen a shroom stain blue, so I'm trying to understand how, in the pic on the right, there's no blue where they've been sliced down the middle.
Here are some crimson pouches I found. (?) They were growing off rotting wood. There was a clump of 5 or 6 smaller ones. I didn't know they got this big...

Psilocybe subaeruginosa will stain blue where damaged.

Those are Leratiomyces erythrocephala.
