so... yet another outing today, with a little (quite little) more luck. got there at 9:30 and got back to my car at 1:50 here are my finds:
 
i think these are Psilocybe semilanceata.
Habitat: in a paddock near cow shit.
Gills:
Bruising: initially blue, turning black later.
im pretty sure i got some weraroas on my hands again.
Habitat: docomposing leaves/foliage, near a fern tree with other mushrooms which i think were the species Cortinarius, like the yellow ones i found yesterday.
Bruising: blue
i think these are Tympanella galanthina. i thought they might be weraroes, but they look just like the one. i found in the first thread, but they have small scales on them.
habitat: decomposing foliage, near a trail.
bruising: doesnt
Entoloma sp?
habitat: growing on decomposing fern stump.
bruising: doesnt
these things are sticky, have some type of goo or plasma on them.
habitat: decomposing foliage:
bruising: doesnt.
so... another 4 hour search today with very little to show for it. the mushroom gods have cursed me so i find every other mushroom but actives, minus weraroa it seems. on the way home i made a little stop at a friends land and thats where i found the other active mushrooms, except i didnt find any more after that small cluster. i went really deep into the forest man, i was climbing up >45 degree angles and at one point practically rockclimbing using vines and trees. the ground started to level once i was really high but the forest was near machete thick then, so i turned back after going deeper didnt change things.
its kind of funny how ive searched so much and never seen any subs or another species which is very common, yet ive found 3 weraroas which are meant to be rare. i really dont think this is just a case of 'bad luck.' after a total of around 10 hours searching with only 3 weraroas (in the various forests i went to) to show for it, there must be something im missing. on the other hand im learning quick what's not active; today i saw a lot of those hygrocybes and entolomas but didnt bother picking. i did bring my camera this time for in situ photos but forgot the SD card! there was only room for 2 photos so i took them of the environment, but long story short i cant transfer them onto the computer right now which is annoying as it would help. im going to try and get those photos.
thanks for looking.

Sebs,
I have never found Subs in deep forest or even in any forest but then again I haven't even really looked for Subs in forest. I find them in parks with native bushland and plenty of bark...
Found a kilo in a small park in Victoria today.
Some people say they grow around pines but I find mine around Eucalyptus trees...
I'm sure you can find some Subs in an NZ park!!!
Give it a shot will ya?

They are not weraroa. They are weraroa virescens and not active

#1 Is either a Panaeolus species or a Conocybe species, probably the former, make a spore print, definitely not Psilocybe semilanceata.
#2 Clavogaster novozelandicus, the synonym is Weraroa virescens, it is not a psilocybin mushroom.
#3 Yes, you are right, Tympanella galanthina
#4 Looks like a mixed collection, the larger ones at the top and the one to the right with the conical pileus are an Entoloma species, the hemispherical ones at the bottom left and centre are something else.
#5 In some NZ guides is known as Collopus epipterygius, I'm certain it is a synonym of Mycena epipterygia
Your id requests are good but it is much more useful to include the colour of the spore deposit than it is to include bruising info, it is useful but not such a great taxonomic characteristic compared to the spore deposit!
