BioImagesBioImages (www.bioimages.org.uk) has 32 images of Mycena galericulata (Common Bonnet, Bonnet Mycena)

One of the commonest toadstools of frondose woodland where it grows in clusters on stumps and fallen wood throughout the year. The small greyish-brown toadstools can be recognised by the interveining of the gills (visible when the cap is held up to the light) and the pinkish colouration of the gills (from a Fusarium-type infection). The basidia are usually 2-spored.
