Entoloma hochstetteri (a beautiful fungi)
Whilst walking on Great Barrier Island, NZ we came across this stunning fungi – Entoloma hochstetteri. An impressive blue colour combined with a delicate structure made it appear almost ‘artificial’ rather than a creation of nature!
Wow – it’s stunning. Something about it looks poisonous
Imagine putting in a stir-fry with red peppers, orange carrots and bright green broccoli – mmmmmmmmmm!
Now why don’t we have those in the UK ! Is that for real ?
Yes, growing naturally in the wild!
