I can see why you suggested Cortinarius austrovenetus. However, in that species the stem colour is different and on it you see traces of the partial veil that covered the gills before the cap expanded. Your sighting is more interesting in that the subject is probably a species of Hygrocybe (or a related genus) and the green species of Hygrocybe (or relative) are seen far less often than is the case with Cortinarius austrovenetus.

Coprinellus etc would have blackish gills by the time they'd developed this far.

Hi @PatrickCampbell2 we recommended using a mix of peanut butter, oats and honey as a standard bait but also encouraged the use of meat like tuna if folks were interested in targeting other species.

Unfortunately it's hard to know exactly what was used but it's like the peanut butter oats honey combo

Thank you for your thoughts on this ID! 😊😊

The death rate of caterpillars in the wild is above 99%. Leaving a caterpillar in the wild is a virtual death sentence. Also : there are published photos of the caterpillars of only 7% of Australia's moth species. You an help improve this sad state of affairs by taking caterpillars into protective custody, and rearing them to get the adult moth. All you need is a clean jar with a fabric top held by an elastic band.
