Species: Gliophorus lilacinoides Horak. The variations in colour of this species can make it difficult to identify at times. Thi offical description says lilac to wine red or redish brown paler towards striate margin. There does not seem to be many that fit this colour range!!

Species: Gliophorus lilacipes Horak An extremely variable species when it comes to colour making it also some times difficult to identify.

Species: Gliophorus pallidus Horak The orange tones of this species tend to fad as it ages till its almost pure white. This is not a green species that fads to white as some suggest.

Species: Gliophorus sulfurea (Stevenson) Horak This fungus is glutinous on both its cap and stripe.

Species: Gliophorus viridis (Stevenson) Horak
Common Name: None Found: Mixed Forest Substrate: Forest floor leaf litter Spores: White	Height: 50 mm Width: 20 mm Season: Early winter Edible: No

Undescribed Species

These fungi below are some that appare not to have been described (named).

Species: Gliophorus species I origanly fought this was G. viscaurantius but are not so sure now as G. viscaurantius has decuernt gills were thes do not. Unfortunitly there are no other Gliophorus species that have yellow gills. So can only assume it a species not yet described.
Common Name: None Found: Broad-leaved Forest Substrate: Ground Spores: White	Height: 45 mm Width: 25 mm Season: Late Autumn Edible: No

Unidentified

The fungi below are those that I have been unable to identify beyond there genus. This maybe due to me miss understanding the keys or a species that has not yet been described (named).

Species: Gliophorus sp. This fungus is not really green but light yellow.
