Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A key to those species of Mycena which are recognisable macroscopically. Published in four parts in succeeding editions of The Mycologist.

The key is easy to use, but unreliable since you don’t know whether your specimen is actually included. Nevertheless there is much useful ancilary information.

Errata, Corrigenda & CommentsThe photographs in the second part were reissued due to printing quality problems.
Examine in the Hand ( with x15 or x20 hand lens is also useful)
Specimen PreparationFresh specimens
