Hygrocybe (Fr.) P. Kumm. 1871

Hygrocybe is one of the wax-gill mushrooms, a group of small, brightly-coloured, saprobic, soil-inhabiting fungi which have brittle flesh with a waxy feel when crushed between the fingers. The main genera of wax-gills are Hygrophorus, Humidicutis, Hygrocybe and Gliophorus. Gliophorus is recognised by the thick glutinous coating over the surface, the caps of Humidicutis are characteristically deeply split at the sides, the other genera distinguished on the basis of microscopic features of hyphae in the gills and the cap. Gills broadly attached to stalk or extending down the stalk, no ring on stalk. Spore print white.

There are more than 20 species reported from New Zealand, most indigenous, but a few found in urbans areas that appear to match Northern Hemisphere species are thought to be introduced exotics.

Wax-gills saprobic on soil and litter. Included in Hygrocybe by some authors. Cap viscid when moist, stipe viscis or dry, pileipellis a cutis.

More than 20 species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
