Hygrocybe flavescens is a species of Hygrocybe described from Michigan.[1] It is considered nonpoisonous to humans.[2] The species can be found in various forests and woodlands.[3]

The mushroom is yellow-orange.[3] Its cap ranges from 2.5 to 6 cm wide, and can be more orange in youth.[3] The stalk is 4 to 7 cm long, .5 to 1.5 cm wide.[4] The gills are more pale than the cap and stipe.[3] The spores are white, elliptical, smooth and inamyloid.[4] It has a mild taste and odor.[4]

Hygrocybe chlorophana is similar, noted in North America as having a more viscid stipe. This distinction is not made in Europe, indicating that they may be the same species.[3]
