FOTD #065 : parrot waxcap! (gliophorus psittacinus)

the parrot waxcap / parrot toadstool is a mycorrhizal fungus in the family hygrophoraceae. it is widely distributed in the grasslands of western europe, the UK, iceland, greenland, the americas, south africa & japan.

the big question: can i bite it?? it is edible & has a mild taste !!

g. psittacinus description :

"the parrot toadstool is a small mushroom, with a convex to umbonate cap up to 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in diameter, which is green when young & later yellowish or even pinkish tinged. the stipe, measuring 2–8 cm (0.8–3.1 in) in length and 3–5 mm in width, is green to greenish yellow. the broad adnate gills are greenish with yellow edges and spore print white. the green colouring persists at the stem apex even in old specimens."

seeing ppl put mushroom caps as hats on art of their oc’s on twitter makes me wanna give aggie a mushroom cap hat

#a big mushroom cap too #it'd protect her from the rain #it'd be so cute!#just may get rid of her antlers in her true form just so she can have a mushroom cap hat in that form #there aren't too many green mushrooms it looks like but stropharia aeruginosa might be good #or gliophorus viridis and gliophorus psittacinus might be good too #hmmm much to think about #ooc.

Wettest fungi? The top 3 i know are hydnellum peckii, the wrinkled peach and the parrot waxcap

i'm sorry this just made me giggle so hard........

but, uh, yeah !! both h. peckii & the wrinkled peach perform an action called guttation, which is functionally similar to sweat :-) that would make it quite a wet fungus.

& the parrot waxcap is very slimy !! so i suppose they would be.. (checks notes) ..the top 3 wettest fungi?

interestingly, mushrooms can be up to 93% water, so some specimens will leak water when you squeeze them - especially after a big rain !!

#• askbox replies: •#(ask : anonymous user)#idk if i'm just losing my mind but “wettest fungi?” made me CACKLE #please be more unhinged in my inbox #love this #[hydnellum peckii]#[rhodotus]#: wrinkled peach :#[hygrocybe psittacina]#[gliophorus psittacinus]#: parrot waxcap :
