Microglossum viride is a species of fungi in the family Geoglossaceae. They are commonly called green earth tongues.
The word Microglossum comes from the Greek words mikrós + glōssa, and literally means "small tongue. The species epithet, viride, comes from the Latin viridis for "green."
Microglossum viride was described by Christiaan_Hendrik_Persoon in 1797 as Geoglossum viride. In 1879 it was moved into the genus Microglossum.
Microglossum viride species are found in woodlands in North America, Australia and Europe.
