Growing on the ground among leaf litter in broadleaf-podocarp forest. Caps to 18 mm across, with a distinct blue tinge especially on fruit bodies covered by fallen leaves. Gills white and decurrent.
Growing on a thin branch near the ground in beech forest. Caps to 20 mm. Pores on the lower surface.
Tiniest specimen I’ve seen!
Substrate Metrosideros excelsa.
Found in mulch under a Hazel tree
On deadwood. Possibly Alder.
Several large clusters of mushrooms found on a dead cabbage tree (sorry for the dodgy phone photo)
I’m not sure exactly what these were but they looked similar to Oyster Mushrooms. I would love to know if they are edible!
