[Auckland, NZ] Sub ID Request
    #23379396 - 06/25/16 01:47 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys I believe I had my first successful sub hunt in North Shore Auckland.
I found these relatively close to each other. But there were some other species near them too. Would be greatly appreciated if they could be identified.

Also, if these are subs are the quality okay to consume? They were a bit weathered out compared to pictures I've seen. Thanks in advance :smile:

You've picked Psilocybe subaeruginosa mushrooms.

Start with the nicest looking ones then you should know if the older ones are ok. I've never eaten an old sub so I couldn't tell you what they're like.

Great ID request. I think it's safe to say that they're all P. subaeruginosa -- they all show pretty obvious blue bruising, but double-check them and wait for a second opinion.

Some of them are a bit waterlogged, but I don't think any of them look too far gone to be eaten. Just make sure that the damage isn't caused by decomposition or rot.

Thanks for the replies :smile:

Any idea how I can determine if it's rotting? They all kinda smell the same so they don't smell bad.

What are your opinions on the Top/Middle and Bottom/Middle in the #1 Photo. The colour seems a lot darker than the other ones?

What's the texture? Is it slimy and gross, or does it feel pretty normal, robust and healthy?

Those two mushrooms look fine to me. Look carefully up and down their stems - can you see bluish to greenish to blackish bruising?

They didn't feel slimy at all. Just broken and their colours were a bit darker/weathered different than a fresh shroom.

I'm pretty certain it's bruising blue, but it's harder to tell on the darker ones cos the cap/stem are all very dark already.
