When: 2011-04-10
Collection location: MacDonalds Track, Barron River National Park, Cairns, Queensland, Australia [Click for map]
Who: Mark Price (marksandyleucapops@gmail.com)
Notes:
Tiny fungi growning on rotting log. Cap grey to white, 3mm across. Very delicate on proporionally long, delicate stem. Stem almost translucent.
Rainforest habitat; approximately 300-400m above sea level.
Nearest I can get in Fuhrer’s Field Guide to Australian Fungi is Mycena albidocapillaris, but that’s described has having a central depression; this current speciman was distinctly umbonate (I think that’s correct – see photo). Also, there were only three growin together – not sure whether that counts as being ‘gregarious, often abundant’.

Add Commentthere’s enough there to tell.
Cap decoration remnants are not very conical, and stipe decoration is really weak or not visible.
Could be any number of things in the Section Sacchariferae.
Why not leave it at Mycena?
something in the Mycena spinosissima group.

we know enough to know what area of Mycena to place this in, though I agree that A. apinosissima is probably too specific a description to settle upon given a single photo. It’s a Sacchariferacious Mycena, no doubt. Beyond that will require more careful scrutiny.
