found these in a little forest containing pine trees, natives and crappy foreign invading plants. they striked me at first as active because they have a strange kind of green/brown/blue tinge around the edges. they were growing out of the base of a tree, the stalks are hollow, all of the ones shown came from one big cluster. the photos were taken about 2-3 hours after picking. I just dont know what to make of them, I know how to identify what Ive always called "blue meanies" the dark brown wavy cap shrooms that go a definate blue, these kinda remind me of them but there not quite the same, same kind of fibourous hollow stalk though. Sorry I dont think a spore print will work they are VERY we, I think if there can be such a thing that they are over watered as we have just had some insane down pour the last 2 days.. hmmmm.. I just dont know what to make of them. anyone know what they are?

I'm not sure what the are, but the brown stem seems to rule out Psilocybe.

They certianly don't look like hallucinagenic mushrooms to me at all. Just some lbm.
It's fun looking tho hey! I see stacks of similar lbms everytime I go for a walk.

They do look somewhat similar to P. Aucklandii but gills are wrong, no evident bluing, stem colour wrong and the red spot on top of the caps is a worry.

Yes I thought as much.. oh well.. hopefully I'll have better luck on my next mish. Man there are SHIT LOADS of mushrooms popping up round here at the mo, just none of the good kind round where I live.
NOTE: After removing the mushrooms from the white paper some of them did leave a bit of a spore print, it was a definate brown with a slight hint of purple.

Looks like NZ Sulphur Tuft Agaric. Naematoloma sp, common on fallen wood and around tree stumps. Gills are dull yellow-green, cap sometimes has a red brown colouring in the center.Not active not edible.
