Gliophorus chromolimoneus

Gliophorus chromolimoneus is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hygrophoraceae found in New Zealand and Australia.

[2] The cap is 5 to 25 mm (0.2 to 1.0 in) in diameter, hemispherical at first, flattening with age and becoming umbonate.

The gills are adnate to decurrent and the same colour as the cap at first, but fade with age, and have a gelatinous thread.

[3] Gliophorus chromolimoneus is a common saprotrophic species of fungus, deriving its nutrition from decaying organic matter.

The fruiting bodies appear between December and June among the leaf litter under Nothofagus, Kunzea ericoides and Leptospermum scoparium trees, or in mixed broad-leafed and conifer woodland with Dacrydium cupressinum, Metrosideros umbellata and Podocarpus laetus.
