I have to admit having a leg up on this one. They're fairly common in my area so I've ID'd them before.
EDIT: It's called a "parrot" mushroom. Edible too. Though I've never bothered eating one.

Somebody has this mushroom picture in their signature. I looked at it and it reminded me of the moon, stars, and outer space, and mystical life.
I think it's beautiful.

Great foot note! Though you might have said "A new name for this..." Since, like many genus name changes, not everyone is a convert yet.
Myco geeks must be bored as hell. More genus names change every year!?! What's up with that? One of my favorite table mushrooms is the gray shaggy parasol. Five years ago it was Lepiota rachodes. Then it became Lepiota rhacodes (note the H placement in the word), then lepiota rachodes OR rhacodes, then lepiota rachodes OR rhacodes var. hortensis, then macrolepiota rachodes, then chlorophyllum rachodes var. olivieri and now it's chlorophyllum olivieri (unless it's changed again while I wrote this!)

Indeed, taxonomy can get crazy at times! I said "the new name" because it is the newest name for the species , but i didn't mean to imply it is the only name as Hygrocybe psittacinus still a synonym of course. Not trying to be confusing or press the new name on folks, just wanted to give a heads up that they will being seeing it used for this species the future.
The experts here in North America don't seem to bored as they have their hands with all the new information available through DNA analysis and the fact that a number of common mushrooms have misapplied names of European species.

I agree. And new information SHOULD be examined and introduced when appropriate. It just seems that at some point the introduction of changes makes it hard to access valid information that has gone before without exhaustive research of pedantic details, approaching a point of diminishing returns.
Not really my forte and maybe it's not considered a problem by mycologists.
Sorry for drifting the thread off topic. Really cool mushrooms. I get to see a few every year and they're always like a fun little surprise.
