Classification
Descriptions
Mycena corticola sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
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.
Mycena corticola sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
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.

Notes
taxonomic status
Horak and JAC examined Colenso collections and they are mostly Mycena roseoflava based on microscopic characters. Massee's macro description was probably assumed rather than observed. b1164 at MEL
