Distinctive features of a cap-shaped hygrocybe
The diameter of the cap varies from 2 to 6 centimeters. A young mushroom has a pointed-shaped cap, in fact, thanks to this, the name came about. Over time, the shape of the cap becomes more sloping, and in mature mushrooms it spreads completely.
At first, the color of the mushroom is quite bright: coral-red, terracotta, wine-brown, orange, and at the end of the season the mushroom fades and becomes light pink. The central part of the cap is much lighter, even whitish. The surface can be sticky or dry. The edges are clearly serrated.
The pulp is pink, thin, and quickly falls apart in the hands. The plates are attached to the stem with the help of teeth. Their colors are mostly light, pale pink. They can be located frequently or infrequently.
The stem of this family of mushrooms can be quite long and reach 16 centimeters. But often there are cap-shaped hygrocybes with short legs that do not exceed 2 centimeters. The leg has a small thickness - only 1 centimeter, so it is very fragile. The surface of the leg is completely smooth, without roughness. The leg is firmly fixed in the substrate. Its shape can be ovoid or elliptical. The spore sac is white or light cream.
Spreading cap-shaped hygrocybe
These mushrooms originally became known in Europe, North America and Japan. Most often, cap-shaped hygrocybe grow in groups, and separately growing specimens are rare.
These mushrooms grow in humus and soil, they prefer rich soil. They can be found in mixed and coniferous forests. Cap-shaped hygrocybe is a moderately common type of mushroom.
Edible hygrocybe cap-shaped
The cap-shaped hygrocybe is considered an edible species, but mushroom pickers collect it quite rarely, since it does not differ in special taste, there is also no smell.

A bright mushroom of the Gigroforovye family - yellow-green hygrocybe, or dark chlorine, impresses with its unusual color. These basidiomycetes are distinguished by the small size of the fruiting body. Mycologists differ on their edibility, it is assumed that this representative of the Gigroforov family is inedible. In scientific sources, the Latin name for the mushroom is found - Hygrocybe chlorophana.
What does a yellow-green hygrocybe look like?
Young mushrooms have a spherical convex cap, the diameter of which does not exceed 2 cm. As it grows, it becomes flat, its size can reach up to 7 cm. Some specimens have a small tubercle in the center of the cap, while others have a depression.
The color of the upper part of the fruiting body is bright lemon or orange.
Due to the ability to accumulate liquid, the size of the cap can almost double in wet weather. The edges of the upper part of the fruiting body are uneven, ribbed.
The skin on the surface is smooth, even, but sticky
The leg of the hygrocybe is yellow-green, thin, even and short, narrowing closer to the base. Often its length does not exceed 3 cm, but there are specimens, the leg of which grows up to 8 cm. Its color is light yellow.
Depending on weather conditions, the skin of the leg may become dry or sticky, damp
The pulp of the base of the mushroom is brittle and fragile. This is due to the small diameter of the stem - less than 1 cm. Outside, the lower part of the fruiting body is covered with sticky mucus. The inside is dry and hollow. There is no ring or blanket remnants on the leg.
The pulp is thin and fragile. Even with light impact, it breaks and crumbles. The color of the pulp can be pale or deep yellow. She does not have a definite taste, but the smell is pronounced, mushroom.
The hymenophore of the fungus is lamellar. Initially, the plates are white, thin, long, over time they become bright orange.
In young specimens, the plates are almost free.
In old basidiomycetes, they grow to the stem, forming a light white bloom in this place.
Spores are oval, oblong, ovoid or ellipsoidal, colorless, with a smooth surface. Dimensions: 6-8 x 4-5 microns. The spore powder is fine, white.
Where does the hygrocybe grow dark chlorine
This is the rarest type of hygrocybe. Solitary specimens are found in North America, in Eurasia, in the mountainous regions of southern Australia, in the Crimea, in the Carpathians, in the Caucasus. In Russia, rare specimens can be found in Eastern Siberia and the Far East.
In Poland, Germany and Switzerland, the yellow-green hygrocybe is listed in the Red Book of Endangered Species.
The described fruiting body prefers forest or meadow fertile soil, mountainous terrain, it is found on organic-rich pastures, among moss. Grows alone, rarely in small families.
The growth period of the yellow-green hygrocybe is long. The first fruiting bodies ripen in May, the last representative of the Gigroforov family can be found at the end of October.
Is it possible to eat a yellow-green hygrocybe
Scientists differ on the edibility of the species. All known sources provide conflicting information. It is only known that the yellow-green hygrocybe does not contain toxic substances, but mycologists do not recommend eating basidiomycete, which is practically not studied due to its small population.
Conclusion
Hygrocybe yellow-green (dark chlorine) is a small, bright mushroom colored in yellow, orange, straw tones. It practically does not occur in the forests and meadows of Russia. In some countries, it is listed in the Red Book. Scientists have no consensus on the edibility of the mushroom. But they are all sure that there are no toxins in its pulp.

Hygrocybe acute conical
Crimson hygrocybe is a beautiful brightly colored mushroom. The cap is conical at a young age, and in mature mushrooms it becomes flat, but at the same time there is a small tubercle in the center. The diameter of the cap can be up to 12 centimeters. The hat is smooth, covered with a sticky layer. The color of the cap is crimson, red, and sometimes turning into orange.

The pulp is very dense with a specific smell.
Crimson hygrocybe grows from early summer to late autumn. These fungi are ubiquitous, favoring moist soil and open areas. This type of hygrocybe differs from its counterparts in larger sizes. It is an edible member of the family with good taste. These delicious mushrooms are suitable for canning and frying.
Hygrocybe yellow-green or hygrocybe dark chlorine is a small fungus that resembles a fabulous, which is largely due to its acidic color. The diameter of the cap ranges from 2 to 7 centimeters.

Sometimes in the center there may be a tubercle or, on the contrary, a notch. The color of the cap is lemon yellow or orange yellow. The surface of the cap is sticky, and the edges are often ribbed. Due to the retention of moisture inside, the cap can increase in size. The leg is very short - about 3 centimeters long, but in some specimens it can reach 8 centimeters, while the diameter is 1 centimeter.
Hygrocybe yellow-green
These mushrooms can be eaten, but they have a very low taste. Yellow-green hygrocybe is less common than other types of hygrocybe. They are most numerous in North America and Europe, but do not grow en masse. Most often they are found singly.
These mushrooms prefer meadow grasses, but they are rare in forests. The fruiting season begins in May and ends in October. Opinions about the edibility of the dark chlorine hygrocybe differ, but in any case, these mushrooms have no practical value.

Hygrocyb red sometimes called scarlet hood , scarlet waxcap or righteous red wax cap the colorful dick mushroom kind Hygrocybe ... These waxcaps are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere from China and Japan to Europe and North America. The small, bright red mushroom is a common sight in undeveloped pastures in Europe in late summer and autumn, and woodlands in North America in winter.
Description of hygrocybe scarlet.
It is easy to recognize a red hygrocybe, since it has a very bright color - its cap and leg are bright red, sometimes with an orange tint. It is due to the rich color that this hygrocybe got its name. In size, the hygrocybe is small red - its cap does not exceed 3 centimeters in diameter. In young specimens, the shape of the cap is hemispherical or conical, but after ripening it becomes convex or flat. The edges of the cap are thin, so they can crack.
This is a lamellar mushroom, under its cap there are also orange or red plates, but in youth they are yellowish. The plates are thick in shape, they are rarely located.
The plates grow together with the teeth with the leg. Mushroom spores are ellipsoidal, smooth, white in color. The pulp is bright red or orange-red; at the break, its color does not change.
The leg is thin and long - up to 7 centimeters high and 0.3-1 centimeters wide. The shade of the leg matches the cap, and in some cases it is more saturated. The leg is cylindrical in shape; it often bends during growth. The leg is hollow inside. There is no ring on it.
Places of growth of red hygrocybe.
These fungi inhabit grassy forests and fertile meadows. Because they prefer to grow in humid locations, they are often referred to as wetheads. Fruiting red hygrocybe from summer to autumn.
Evaluation of the edibility of red hygrocybe.
The very bright color of this mushroom often misleads mushroom pickers - they believe that there is a poisonous representative of the mushroom kingdom in front of them. In fact, this mushroom can be used in cooking, but it does not have a high taste. Red hygrocybe can be boiled, stewed and fried.

Oak hygrocybe bears fruit in the autumn. Places of growth are deciduous and mixed forests, most often these mushrooms are found next to oak trees, which is emphasized by the name.
Meadow hygrocybe is an edible relative of red hygrocybe. The color of its fruiting body is light brown. The shape of the cap is convex. The leg is cylindrical, tapering downward.
Most often, meadow hygrocybe grows in dry and wet meadows, hiding among the grasses. In rare cases, they come across in light grassy forests.
