Mycena multicolorata G. Stev. 1964

Mycena multicolorata Stevenson (29 D) = Insiticia flavovirens (Cooke and Massee) Horak. I. flavovirens was originally described from Australia, where it was found growing on trunks of tree ferns imported from New Zealand. We checked the type material of both species which is clearly conspecific (see Pegler, 1965) and in addition collected this agaric on two occasions on its rather specialised host substratum.
