NZ Cortinarius ID Request
    #14438584 - 05/12/11 03:49 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hi people. this is my first post, but I've been reading shroomery for a few years now amongst a number of books on psychoactive fungi etc. I live in chch and always find my share.
I went on a hunt today and found these unusual (to me anyway) mushrooms growing in pine bark chip at a park with a northern hemisphere pine section. There were some light beige in colour before picking and others around them that appeared almost an aqua, blue/green/grey colour. The colouration intensified after picking, but not like the dark blues of the species I'm sure of.
Can anyone help with identifying these?

If I were you, I would start by taking a proper spore print. After 12 or so hours when the print is ready, I would post a new thread in the main forum with these photos and the spore print info/pics and ask for a proper ID request as this is not the place for Id requests as mentioned in this threads title.

Got it. After reading the first forum page. The remaining 25 pages so far have (Mushrooms, Mycology and Psychedelics >> Mushroom Hunting and Identification) as the header. Maybe that last word could be omitted to avoid confusion. Thanks for the heads up though. Spore print is in the making.

Is the stipe glutinous like the pileus and are the spores more or less round with fairly course warts when viewed with a microscope?

Was it fruiting in association with Leptospermum and Kunzea
forest?

If the answer is yes to all of the above this is more than likely Cortinarius rotundisporus, the pileus will turn pink with an alkaline reagent like KOH, it will probably make you feel a bit sick if you consume it.

If the stipe is dry and the spores are broadly ellipsoid with much finer warts and a distinct hilar appendage it is an undescribed species in the subgenus Phlegmacium.

Thank you for the helpful information. After further reading, and the spore print result, I'm almost certain they are Cortinarius rotundisporus. Having access to Potassium Hydroxide and Microscopes would make it absolute. There are Kanuka and Manuka in the area, which has sections of garden habitats from around the world. They were growing under Pinus parviflora in standard pine chip the council uses as a mulch.
