Hygrocybe fenestrata

Hygrocybe fenestrata

A smallish mushroom which is quite viscid everywhere, red fading rather quickly to orange and yellow (like many others) but usually with a milky translucent "window" on the cap disc. It is a fairly new discovery from California now known to occur in Washington, and when it gets a name, that name may be Hygrocybe fenestrata, but for now it is "np", or a proposed name only. It was thought to belong in Gliophorus because of it's extremely viscid nature, but it too belongs in Hygrocybe.
