Gliophorus perplexus After lots of heavy rain and mild temperatures, conditions are fantastic for the Hygrophoraceae in Northwest Georgia. Since I found lots of Hygrocybe sp. the past two days, I told Jason that it was definitely time I check my G. psittacinus location. It is one of my all-time favorite mushrooms, but I have only seen a flush of them ONCE (back in 2017). My instincts proved decent (maybe I&#039;m becoming a better naturalist?), and I found this individual under pine needles and leaf litter/ground cedar/moss at the base of a ridge (near a dirt road) this morning! It is a closely related (once a variety of G. psittacinus) called Gliophorus perplexus. The cap and the stem apex were an olive to yellow tone whilst the base of the stem was more of a pale orange/yellow. Gordon County, Georgia, US.
