Common Name: None 		Hygrocybe graminicolor (= Gliophorus graminicolor), an agaric with slimy green cap and stem; cap translucent striate and becoming depressed; gills pale green with gelatinous thread along edge (hand lens); whole fruit body dries pink. Care is needed to distinguish from three closely related species: H stevensoniae (= Gliophorus viridis FUHRER & ROBINSON 41) which dries pink, but lacks the gelatinous thread along the gill edge and has a convex to plane rather than depressed cap; H. pseudograminicolor, which does not turn pink on drying and has bright green gills; and H. vallomarginata which has a non translucent-striate cap, and lacks a gelatinous thread on the gill edge.
