Re: Mycena Identification help needed

I would have arrived at Mycena mirata with the information supplied, although the 4-spored basidia would have been a puzzle.

Interestingly, in his online Mycena key, Aronsen says:

"In the literature M. mirata is only described as 2-spored, and all my own collections have been 2-spored. A collection made by M. Krikorev, Sweden, however, proved to have 4-spored basidia."

Perhaps the species is not sufficiently well studied?
