Entoloma hochstetteri mushroom at Lake Mahinapua, New Zealand
This distinctive all-blue mushroom grows in New Zealand, although fungus enthusiasts can also find Entoloma hochstetteri in India. It’s bountiful enough on western parts of both the North and South Islands of New Zealand that it features in the artwork on the latest iteration of the $50 note, alongside the kōkako, a bird with a blue wattle that inspired the Māori name for this mushroom: werewere-kokako.
