Mycena roseoflava Stevenson (29 D) = Insitica roseoflava (Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: M. roseoflava Stevenson, Kew Bull. 19: 50, 1964)
Probably introduced into New Zealand, growing mainly on lawns around houses and in parks. This species, however, is closely related to an undescribed native fungus.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Other collections at K Stevenson GS 157, 168, 901, 165; Colenso specimens (originally determined as M. corticola, redet by Horak), 325b, 480
Pileus very thin and delicate, hemispherical, obtuse, at length more or less umbilicate, deeply and distantly striate, glabrous, or flocculosely pruinose or mealy, 4-7 mm. across; colour very variable, blackish, bluish, brown, or grey; gills adnate, with a slight decurrent tooth, broad, somewhat ovate, pallid; spores globose, hyaline, smooth, 9-10 µ, diameter; cystidia obtusely fusiform, 50-60 X 8-10 µ, ; stem about 1 cm. long, very slender, glabrous or minutely scurfy, paler than the pileus, incurved, minutely fistulose.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, United States.
On bark of living trees, among moss and lichens.
Closely allied to Mycena hiemalis, but readily distinguished by the globose spores, the presence of cystidia in the broad ovate gills, and the densely gregarious habit.

Stipe 5-10 x 1-2 mm, ochraceous to yellow, central to excentric, straight or curved, smooth to minutely floccose. Spores globose, 6-8 µm diam., amyloid, thin walled. Hymenophoral trama and tissue of pileus pseudo-amyloid, Cheilo- and pleurocystidia ornamented (Fig. 43).
