Subs are everywhere in auckland, if you find woodchip gardens the chances are you will find subs in with clusters of other species. If anyone from auckland is still having trouble finding any PM me.

Psilocybe Makarorae! [Re: haunted]

Hey all,
So yes! I finally managed to find some Psilocybe Makarorae - so hard to find! The were growing in deciduous forest, in all the rotting wood and leaves on the forest floor. It was very moist, down there among the dew coated cobwebs and moss covered tree roots.
Here are some pictures of them in their natural environment: enjoy
I only managed to find four in total: they are *very* hard to find. Here are some pictures from when I got home:
If anybody wants higher resolution pictures, or pictures from different angles just PM me
I'm taking spore prints right now. What should I do with them I wonder?

I thought I'd add this in just 'cause I thought it looked nice Its from the same location as the Psilocybe Makarorae. The spore prints from the Makarorae came out very dark purple, almost black.

I haven't had any luck finding a single Aucklandii...yet. I went for a look last weekend, which should have yielded results, but I was unable to find even one. Either someone has raped the area (highly unlikely, as it's quite hard to pick EVERY single shroom in a huge area of forest), or it's still not quite cold enough. I'm hoping end of May and mid June will be perfect for shrooms, because I'm really itching to find some to photograph. Trippinalice - Aucklandii grows on pine needle/soil debris in certain forests. However, it doesn't appear there's any growing at the moment. I will look again in a few weeks though (hopefully pics this time).

I would have asked you if you have confirmed the ID by examination of sporeprint and cystidia - but one look at those and im quite sure you are correct. Id love a spore print!!!! $$$

hehe its probably worth your while to drive down to Dunedin you can't go anywhere here without tripping over shrooms.
I went out again yesterday for about half an hour and got about another 100-200 subs. Not a lot of fresh growth though.. most of the ones i was picking were looking quite old.
And those damn liberties have all but given up it seems!

Hahaha, nice pun!
But damn, you seem to have a lot of shrooms down there!!! It's a bit scarce (from what i know) in wellington. But i have found a trustworthy patch that fruits enough for me atleast! But not enough for the worms it seems

It's definitely a good time to be picking in Auckland, i've found 5 new spots in a week just heading to work and going on short hunts, maybe i'm just lucky. I found a monster spot yesterday which is what i've been looking for all season. Picked 100 subs and left about another hundred to get bigger.
Mulch gardens are the way to go!
