@michaelb if you can get to these after dark, it is well worth it! They are bioluminescent and glow green.

Thanks Tina, it was a stunning specimen, tho yellowish in daylight, not quite the colour in the photo.

@michaelb they're often quite discoloured as they age, but a lovely bright white when they are young and fresh with a darker splotch from the stipe outwards on the cap. They're quite stunning in the day, but amazing at night!
