Should the SNP choose to accept the Tories support, the Scottish Greens would not be needed to lend their votes to the SNP.
The Greens have called for the government to take "decisive action" on climate change in exchange for its support for the budget this year by scrapping several major infrastructure projects.
The minority SNP administration has relied on the Green's support in order to get its budget through for the last three years, and this year would have to agree to reduce investment in roads expansion plans, and fund more public transport services, cycling and walking infrastructure instead if it were to seek the party's support again.
Patrick Harvie, the green's co-leader, wrote to Mackay last week and said suggested that free bus travel could be extended to young people, and planned spending on the A9, A96 and the Sheriffhall roundabout could be cancelled or curtailed
