 As a result, the genus "Cuphophyllus" (comprising "Hygrocybe pratensis" and its allies) was removed from "Hygrocybe" sensu stricto, together with the genus "Gliophorus" (comprising "Hygrocybe psittacina" and its allies) and several other genera.Fruit bodies of "Hygrocybe" species are all agaricoid, most (but not all) having smooth to slightly scaly caps that are convex to conical and waxy to slimy when damp.Many (but not all) are brightly coloured in shades of red, orange, or yellow – less commonly pink or green.
