Hi just wondering if anyone knew if these mushrooms were available in NZ!
Just got back from Aussie, where on my last meal there I was lucky enough to have one in my dish, the flavour was amazing. Would love to try cooking with them here. Tried googling, but not much luck.

No, they are quite different, a large stalk, with a small cap.
