Parrot Toadstool - Gliophorus psittacinus These were the slimiest mushrooms that I&#039;ve ever found. The texture felt like an overripe mango. I actually had to cup them in my hand to keep them from sliding off.<br />
<br />
Caps were slimy, nearly flat, lined, and ranged in color from green to orange/yellow. The gills were orange, nearly distant, and had frequent short gills. The stipes were slimy and colors were green to yellow. <br />

Habitat: Growing on the ground in a mixed forest - under eastern hemlock. <br />
