Greencracked brittlegill. A variety of wild mushroom which, as its name implies, is a sort of olive green with darker green markings and with creamy brittle gills. Most brittlegills resemble other ones that are inedible and some will cause gastric problems. You can normally detect what type it is by the flavour. A tiny tasting will immediately reveal whether or not it is edible, but it is worth spitting it out immediately if you detect a bitter taste.

Green chillis vary in shape and style and heat from place to place. Generally small, pointed chillis are the hottest and can be lethal, while larger more bulbous chillis are lower in Scoville Units.
