Blue-green stropharia

A close-up of two mushrooms on the forest floor, surrounded by fallen leaves. The larger mushroom has a blueish hue with a textured cap, while the smaller one is more rounded and dark.

Blue-green stropharia is a medium-sized green, slimy woodland mushroom, found on lawns, mulch and woodland from spring to autumn.

At first it is a vivid blue/green, and very glutinous (slimy), with a sprinkling of white veil remnants around the edge. The colour in the gluten fades, or is washed off as it matures, and it becomes yellow ocher, sometimes in patches, but mostly at the centre.
