Funguary Day 9: Parrot Waxcap

This absolutely gorgeous mushroom is the Parrot Waxcap, also known as Gliophorus psittacinus. It most commonly starts off its life as the bright and vivid green mushroom it is commonly known for being, and as it gets older its color shifts more toward an orangish yellow.

However, they can also be bright yellow and red, and there is apparently also a rare blue variety from Humboldt county.

See the rest of my posts for funguary here!
