Confused with hunting.

Hi all im new to this beautiful website.
Now im a little confused with finding actives, where iv checked spots they used to grow in and there either not there or there is other types of mushrooms growing instead..
Went and did a few hunts a couple of weeks ago and a friend showed me a place in the same area iv been checking for ages with always good luck.. They used to be everywhere ! So i gave up and try ed different parks and stuff found the perfect places for them to grow and every time i come across a good spot There's always this Yellow type of mushrooms growing and they look exactly like subs.. There is also this red looking one.They have the same shape and size.. No blue ink on them.. i know what im looking for but for some reason there just isn't any Good actives amongst them? any idears of whats going on?
Its been raining for a few days now.. but it hasn't been to cold.. Do the actives only grow when its really cold as well as rain.. or should they be growing with the other random subs that look so convincing..
Im in the North shore Part of auckland. its raining as i speak now its been good pouring since yesterday none stop.

North shore seems to be the best place in the North Island for actives based on the NZ thread. If you keep at it and looking in the right habitats you'll find actives fairly soon imo.
Red ones sound like leratiomyces ceres.
Spots can dry up year to year due to pin/patch raping and habitat destruction etc.
I'd say the reason those spots aren't seemingly fruiting actives is because based on my experience the early bird gets the worm. I went for a huge walk along the highway(woodchip path) and had the exact same experience as you with the same mushrooms and zero actives

Could you take some pictures and post them here?

People have probably already been cleaning out the patches, the more public they are the more people will know about them, obviously. Hunt harder and you'll find some "private" spots not so easily found by others.

Thanks HamiltonJoe the red ones are defiantly ."leratiomyces ceres" Its been raining a good amount.. But its not so cold for some reason yet.. still early in season do you think?
I remember last year it was very very cold nights and mornings and i would almost trip out looking for them and soon as you see them its like willy wonkers chocolate factory , They looks amazing at night just after its been raining they are like lollies for you to just pluck right out of the ground its a good feeling when you find some. Kinda miss it haha

It sounds like you're hitting already harvested patches.

You are out on a hunt now?? Go during the day time man... If you are not experienced at hunting active mushrooms, what makes you think you will have an easier job in the pitch black??? You could end up picking the wrong ones man..

I know what looking for its just alls I can seem to find are those red yellow and the one I put in my user gallery just before . I don't take anything with out blue stains bro I'm very cautious of what I eat lol. The reason being night is no ones around and its been raining all day so thought I'd try my luck while it's colder and wet with no none to see me doing it all . if I new some places that wernt always raped and picked at I'd go day time . thought I might get lucky on a new spot..
