Entoloma hochstetteri

Also known as the blue pinkgill or sky-blue mushroom.

Entoloma hochstetteri grow in the leaf litter and soil of forests in New Zealand. It is the country’s national fungus as of a 2018 poll. It is featured alongside the kōkako bird on the 50 dollar note. This is due to the myth that the bird gained its blue wattles from rubbing its cheek against the mushroom.

Examples of the bird, banknote and a stamp from a set of 6 different native fungi issued in 2002. The banknote is the only banknote in the world that features a mushroom!

It is debated if a similar mushroom found in Australia is also the same species.

The fungus is a member of the Entoloma genus which means its spores are a reddish pink colour.

It is unknown if the mushroom is toxic or not but many other members of the genus are poisonous.

Mushrooms in a local park. They say hello and to drink some water today.

Mabon, this year, for me, has been about appreciating the small things and giving back to the people I care for.
