Porcini and Pine boletes. Yum! Posted this week from Wellington.
Boletus edulis and Suillus granulatus I believe.

They are being pickled. Oh, but not my find just someone I know in Welly. Shows you that they are about though. All I have found recently apart from your agaricus sp. is shaggy ink caps and the fact that they auto-digest puts me off

Oh silly me posted from wellys I see that now lol. Those ink caps do look gross aye. People make out as though they are a delicacy, but that auto break down thing they do is just strange. The really little young ones do look like they could be okay though.

Very very interesting to see porcini coming out of Wellington. I found a patch this season and thought it had to be the only one in the city. Porcini aren't actually recorded being found in Wellington before, and I thought my collection might have been the first properly recorded. I wonder if we're picking from the same patch...
Bagels, could you ask your friend if their patch usually has a bunch of very young porcini that regularly get vandalized? Because mine sure does 
Here's a photo of the second flush I collected. I've eaten half of what I've found fresh (fucking amazing btw), and dried the other.

I have already asked a couple of questions and so have others on fb and there have been no replies. Very secretive these mushroomers. People will sell them to restaurants so you could ask the chefs around town as they would be in the know. Sorry but that is probably not much help.

I did find these couple of months ago. They look like Birch boletes but were found on the edge of a native forest conservation area and I couldn't see any birches.

Well, it's definitely a Leccinum sp. All references to it say it only occurs under birches, but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually could be found elsewhere. I don't think what we call Leccinum scabrum is actually what a European would call Leccinum scabrum, kind of like how A. muscaria differs between Europe and NA. I also think the same is true for our Boletus edulis, and probably a bunch of other mushrooms.

Just a few finds from me 
I'll start off with a few macro shots of some subaeruginosa pins:
  
Follow up with an amazing looking Amanita muscaria (who doesn't like muscaria pictures??? )

Then end with a few pictures of an unidentified, yellow-fleshed, brown/orange spored mushroom found growing in grass under a beach tree.

Cute little Amanita! I keep coming up with Chalciporus sp. for the last one. What do you think?

Looks a lot like Chalciporus piperatus.

That's mega cool! What a weird looking thing. Fungi can look downright alien.

They are not uncommon around here, this one is big though about 25cm tall. They are hollow inside the cap and the stems are like silverbeet stems. I found another species last year I'll have to see if I can find the pic.

Cortinarius iodes would you say Inski? I found these on the edge of a woodlot. They do not have much odour and I did try a little of a dried cap and it tasted woody? not a strong flavour at all. Pics of the trees that were nearby but I don't know what they are.

 My little buddy the fantail.
Thanks for the above ID. Awfully big for an elfin's saddle
