Mycena ? for ID

[kiff]

found at Ebor Gorge in Somerset

think this is a Mycena sort of looks like bulbosa or the clavularis that's in phillips

[KeenTeen17]

Its a mycena all right, were there any other defining features like smell or secretion?

hi

this looks very like Mycena adscendens; did it have a sort of powdery coating on the cap? - I think I can just about make that out

regards

Chris

to small to smell or see and did not notic any secretion the biggest cap must of only been 3mm wide

I can make out the powder a bit so Chris' suggestion is better than just "mycena sp"

Mycena adscendens is more likely at this time of year and another slight pointer is that the bulbous base of adscendens is smaller than that of clavularis.

afte looking into Mycena adscendens it does seem to fit with what I found thanks all

[Chris Yeates]

here is Mycena adscendens - photographed in wet weather; the powdery cells on the cap can be seen, as can characters of stem and stem-base



cheers
