Gliophorus viridis

            Gliophorus viridis and Gliophorus graminicolor have long been a source of confusion for mycologists, and, at times it was thought there may only be one green species. Although, at times,they can look remarkably similar, Gliophorus viridis is most easily distinguished by a firmer, fleshier, yellower stem, a more domed cap, often more slimy or glossy, and a brighter, yellower green colour in general. Although there are exceptions to the rule, Gliophorus graminicolor usually have a more translucent, and blue green colour, with a more granular, crystalline texture to the stem and cap, which often flattens out with age. Interestingly, Gliophorus viridis can occasionally come up orange, or turn orange with age.
