Entoloma hochstetteri — The Sky Blue Mushroom "As you can see, what we have here are some genuine smurfs. Native to both the North and South islands of New Zealand, (and a few places in India) our famous friend is featured on the back of the 1990 version of the New Zealand $50 note. It also ran a brief stint back in 2002 on a set of stamps, but the postal service is on its last limb so no one cares. The most surprising fact about this guy is that even though it was first described in 1866, no one has tried eating it, therefore, it’s toxicity remains undetermined. However, many other species of its genus have been found poisonous and it’s safe to assume it would kill you for a snack"
