Edible Wild Fungi and Food information desperately wanted.

Hi there, I too am interested in foraging [& freeganing]...I have recently bought "Edible & Poisonous Mushrooms" for Australasia by Hall, Buchanan, Yun, & Cole.....an illustrated guide to the most common mushrooms....may I suggest that you contact Te Papa - there will be a curator of fungi there.
I have a website on wild foods [just new, so am still adding content] www.pavlovasdog.weebly.com
At present I am exploring my local area [Browns Bay on the North Shore of Auckland] for wild edibles, as well as visiting farmer's markets. The AK zoo & museum have expressed interest in what I am doing....I would be keen to liaise with you re the idea of foraging tours, especially in the urban environment - we Kiwis are used to our food mass produced & shrink-wrapped at the supermarket - tasteless as well as totally devoid of nutrition.
The other aspect to this subject, of course, is that foraging skills could be most useful for survival in the event of a natural disaster/infrastructure failure...
My latest venture is the rearing of mealworms in my pantry, & am trying to find what NZ insects are edible, other than the huhu & crickets....
Have also just bought "Simply Living - a gatherer's guide to NZ's fields, forests, & shores" by Gwen Skinner [1983]
