There are 4 mushrooms in total.

Habitat:
Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.

Me: I was given these by friends who picked them in Wellington bush/woods. More exact than that I do not know.

Gills:
Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.

Me: Hopefully the pictures will show you more than I can write in words.

Stem:
Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.

Me: Stems are between 2-3 cm long. The mushrooms are between 2 and 4 cm in diameter. One is of very odd shape - like a sausage almost.

Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

Spore print color:
Very important!

Me: I tried doing a spore print (couple of hours) but they have been in the fridge for a week, may be why I can't get anything?

Bruising:
Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.

Me: Can this be done even though they have been in fridge so long?

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Me: I was given these by friends who have been picking a lot of mushrooms outside of Wellington this last month. They say they are strong.

I wanna make sure that these are safe, and perhaps learn something while I do it.

Yes I have never tried eating or picking mushrooms before and am precautious.

Pictures follow! :smile:



Have a great day guys!

Yes, but what species? Could they be Weraroa virescens? I don't see any blue staining.

Yeah keeping mushrooms in the fridge for a week will definitely make them not want to print, bur this is a secotoid species and will not drop a print ever as they have lost the ability to forcefully eject their spores.

I can't find any info on virescens other than it's inactive.

Yup. Looks similar. Notice any blue staining at all?

Yes, i believe I do. It isn't much, but there is blue along the edges where it broke in half.

Thanks for taking the time man.

I see bluing in the third picture at least. :shrug: And probably 1st one in the second set.
And his friend said that 'they're pretty strong'. So I'm pretty sure they're Psilocybe weraroa (W. novae-zelandiae). I guessed the staining faded after a week in the fridge.
W. virescens looks pretty different from the pics I found.
EDIT: it's certainly bluing in the above photos.

Thanks Tangich for the quick reply.

I was thinking that if mushrooms are anything like us, they wouldn't bleed as much if they were kept cold. I don't even know if the bluing is the equivalent of human bleeding but just sharing some thoughts here :wink:

Already fascinated by all the knowledge and wisdom being shared on this forum!

Yes I can confirm that this was the most beautiful 4 new friends I would ever find.

In other words: yes absolutely good mushrooms with lots of good love in them! :laugh:
