Description

Pileus 10-15(-35) mm diam., hemispherical when young becoming convex or even expanded, herbage green to malachite green, darker at the centre, glutinous, striated at the sharp margin. Lamellae adnate to subdecurrent, whitish-greenish, moderately close, gill edge even, concolorous, without gelatinous thread.

Context green in pileus, orange-grey at the base of the stipe, unchanging. Odor slightly alkaline. Taste mild. Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH - yellow. Spores 7-8(-9) x 4-5 µm, ellipsoid, smooth, inamyloid. Basidia 35-45 x 5-7 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia lacking. Cuticle an ixotrichodermium consisting of erect, cylindric, apically branched hyphae (2-5µm diam.), membranes strongly gelatinized, thin-walled. Clamp connections numerous.

Notes

This beautiful species (see Taylor 1970) differs from G. graminicolor Hk., another green coloured Hygrophoraceae from New Zealand, in its adnate (!) lamellae, larger spores, and absence of an unpleasant odor.

Hygrophorus viridis G. Stev. 1963 [1962]

Description

Pileus 1-5-3.5 cm. diam., herbage green to melachite green, occasionally blue with pink tints, striate at margin, very slimy, convex becoming flattened, with or without a shallow umbilicus; flesh concolorous. Gills adnate to subdecurrent, moderately thick, concolorous with a white bloom. Stipe 3-5 cm. X 3-5 mm,, concolorous above, yellow at base, hollow to somewhat stuffed, very slimy. Spores 4-5 x 6-8 µm., oblong hyaline. Basidia 35 x 4-6 µm., four-spored. All specimens become flesh coloured when dried.

Habitat

habitat: under forest among moss or litter, Levin, 20.4.1948, Stevenson; & 26.6.1948, F. Duguid, Keith George Park, Wellington, 15.6.1949, Stevenson; Rotoiti, 16.5.1956, E. Kidson; Nelson, 3.6.1956, Stevenson.

Latin

Pileus 1.5-3.5 cm. diam., viridis, ex herbaceo malachiteus, nonnunquam caeruleus colore roseo suffultus, ad marginem striatus, eximie viscidus, e convexo applanatus, baud vel leviter umbilicatus; carne concolore. Lamellae adnate vel subdecurrentes, modice crassae, concolores, albido-pulverultentae. Stipes 3-5 cm. X 3-5 mm. sursum concolor, deorsum flavus, e farcto cavus, eximie viscidus. Sporae 4-5 X 6-8 µm., oblongae, ovoideae, hyalinae. Siccitate specimina incarnata.

Notes

This species is close to the European H. psittacinus (Schaeff. ex Fr.) Fr, which is a toadstool of grassland, whilst H. viridis has been found only in forest. The New Zealand fungus does not go brown and does not have brown or red colour on the cap; also its spores are slightly smaller.
