taxonomic status
The righthand 3 basidiomes labelled as Hygrophorus viridis in Stevenson 1963a, PL. 8.1, are Gliophorus lilacipes; and the basidiomes labelled as Hygrophorus viridis in Taylor 1970, PL. [back cover], and Taylor 1981, PL. 10.42, are Gliophorus graminicolor, fide Horak 1990, p. 283. However, Young & Wood 1997, p. 997, suggested that the two outer basidiomes in Taylor's plates are Hygrocybe stevensoniae [= Gliophorus viridis], and that only the central basidiome is Hygrocybe graminicolor [= Gliophorus graminicolor].
