New Zealand blue pouch / blue Meanie?
    #23419389 - 07/07/16 07:18 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hi. I am an Australian on the NW coast of the South Island of New Zealand. While hiking today, I came across what I think to be 'blue meanies' or 'blue pouches'. I am a novice at identifying mushrooms and I would like to know what people think of these. Will I trip or die? They were found growing beside a river on a fallen tree in a rainforest environment. Thanks in advance.

Looks like psilocybe weraroa. I can't say for certain myself, however, as I have never seen a weraroa in person. I'm moving to NZ next month however and am very excited to go hunting out there!

I'd wait for a trusted identifier with more experience than I to confirm that those are P. Weraroa before you consume them though. I'm relatively sure that there are also none psychoactive weraroas as well that you wouldn't want to eat.

No first hand experience with the NZ funga, but these resemble Clavogaster.
You can slice one in two lengthwise to expose the gleba.

Yes, it is Clavogaster virescens.

Thanks, inski. I have done a bit of reading up on the species now. Would I be right in saying that it is not active but also not poisonous?
