Parrot Waxcap

Hygrocybe psittacina

Description:

Very slimy, wet, viscid cap and stem (see 3rd pic with the strand of slime) Growing in mixed woodland in a deciduous patch. Growing in the moss in places and from bare earth in others. I'm guessing parrot waxcap since it's the only waxcap I know with green also parrot colours

Notes:
