Mycena supina
Mycena supina
The pale caps are 2 to 7 mm across. See link below for full description.
Mycena pseudocorticola and M meliigena are very similar and found in the same habitat.
This is a difficult species, and we recommend that it is verified by an expert from a specimen before submission to Naturespot. Microscopic examination will be needed. Also photograph from top down, in side view and underneath to show gills; note habitat and substrate.
On moss-covered trunks of deciduous trees, possibly mostly in rich, calcareous sites.
Autumn and early winter.
A rare species which was only discovered in Britain in Cornwall in 2020.
