Synonyms

Hygrocybe citrinovirens is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of Citrine Waxcap.[2] The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described from Denmark in 1923 by mycologist Jakob Emanuel Lange as Camarophyllus citrinovirens.[3] Julius Schäffer transferred it to the genus Hygrocybe in 1947.[4]

Recent

sensu stricto.[5]

Description

inamyloid, ellipsoid, c. 6.5 to 8.5 by 5 to 6μm.[6]

Distribution and habitat

The Citrine Waxcap is widespread but generally rare throughout Europe, with the largest populations in the north west of the continent.[1] Like other waxcaps, it occurs in old, agriculturally unimproved, short-sward grassland (pastures and lawns). In North America, the rare Hygrocybe virescens is similar to H. citrinovirens, but more distinctly green.[6]

Recent research suggests waxcaps are neither

saprotrophic but may be associated with mosses.[7]

Conservation

Hygrocybe citrinovirens is typical of

red lists of threatened fungi in several European countries, including Croatia,[8] Denmark,[9] Finland,[8] Germany,[10] Norway,[8] and Sweden.[8]
