Re: Mycena Identification help needed

Hi Rob;
Maas Geesteranus says 2-spored but also sometimes 1-spored and from these basidia he finds spores at 15 microns yet!. In my experience, also, the cystidial projections are from 2 to 7 microns, longer for instance than on M. metata or filopes. Your excellent picture of the cystidia would seem to indicate this.
Maas also says 'no pleurocystidia' - if you find any more I suppose you could check this, it would be interesting to know as an additional feature.

Lovely pics by the way, what's your setup?
Regards, Alan
