These were growing in grass or possibly submerged wood by the sides of the path.

The caps were furry, but also slimy. They were green in colour, to a paler green at the apex, then white at the edge. I also saw white fur on the edge of the cap.

The stem was also turquoise, but covered in white fur.

On Day 5 (15 October 2022):

The caps had lost some colour and were very slimy.

On Day 8, they were quite old and had lost most of their colour, but remained slimy and a pale glaucous green.
