Mycena mirata
Mycena mirata
A species of Bonnets.
Mycena mirata is a peculiar, diminutive fungus, characterized by its campanulate pileus. A distinguishing attribute is the occurrence of limpid to pallid guttation on the rim of its cap, primarily observed in the latter part of autumn. This species typically appears in small clusters or as solitary specimens, thriving on decaying foliage in broadleaf and mixed woodland environments, notable for its diaphanous, occasionally luminescent appearance.
