Pileus 3-7 mm diam., crimson, striate at edge, darker at centre, campanulate, moist, drying paler; flesh thin, crimson. Gills adnate, pink with crimson margins, moderately distant, long and short intercalated. Stipe 2-4 cm x 0.5-1 mm, crimson, translucent, solid, smooth with fibrils at base, producing sparse red latex on breaking. Spores 8 x 6 µm, amyloid, thin-walled. Hymenophoral trama and tissues of Pileus strongly pseudo-amyloid with many hyphae and cells over 10 µm diam. Cheilocystidia 40-60 x 5-15 µm more or less awl-shaped (Fig. 53).

Pileus 3-7 mm diam., kermesinus, margine striatus, medio fusciore campanulatus, humidus, siccitate pallidior; caro tenuis, kermesina. Lamellae adnatae, puniceae, marginibus kermesinis, modice distantes, longiores cum brevioribus intercalatae. Stipes 2-4 cm x 0.5-1 mm, kermesinus, translucens, solidus, laevis, basi fibrillis albis instructis, fractus laticem sparsum rubrum scatens. Sporae 8 x 6 µm, amyloideae, parietibus tenuibus. Trama hymenophoralis et pilei textura valde pseudo-amyloidea, hyphis et cellulis multis ultra 10 µm diam. Cheilocystidia 40-60 x 5-15 µm, plus minus subuliformia.

Like many small Mycena spp. this fungus is strongly geotropic. Specimens placed in a petri dish turn vertically in a few hours.
