Slo.: lubjeva eladica - syn.: Mycena corticola (Pers.) Fr. - Habitat: mixed broadleaved and conifer wood, locally almost flat terrain, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock, in shade; dry place, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 470 m (1.550 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: still standing Alnus sp. bark lightly overgrown with mosses; on northeast side of the trunk. - Comments: This incredible small and filigree mushroom is, no doubt, frequently overlooked. Tiny, only a few millimeters tall, more or less brown on more or less brown, cracked tree bark, it hides itself perfectly. However, looked from close the impression is much different. Its size, unusual hyphal ends of the cortical layer of the stipe and hypha with strange digitiform outgrowths distinguish it from other small Mycena species. Growing in a group of a few fruit bodies, pileus diameter 2 to 4 mm, SP very faint, almost invisible, probably whitish. - Spores smooth. Dimensions: 8,1 [9,1 ; 9,6] 10,5 x 7,3 [8 ; 8,4] 9,1 microns; Q = 1 [1,1 ; 1,2] 1,3; N = 26; C = 95%; Me = 9,3 x 8,2 microns; Qe = 1,1.

Slo.: krvobetna eladica - Habitat: Mixed wood side, rich mixture of Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Alnus incana, Ostrya carpinifolia, Corylus avellana, etc.; W inclined hill slope, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock, half shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 425 m (1.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: dead fallen partly rotten but still in bark trunk of a deciduous tree and at the foot of still alive Alnus incana tree. - Comments: Growing in groups many species; taste indistinctive, like mold? smell specific but on what? SP whitish (oac900), caps violet-pink-brown (oac609), gills whitish with violet tint (oac654), milk abundant intensive violet-red (oac510). Spores smooth, with an oil drop.

Slo.: belkasta eladica - Habitat: alpine valley, river bank at the foot of steep north side of a mountain, locally almost flat terrain, calcareous ground, river bank vegetation mostly consisting of Salix eleagnos, Ostrya carpinifolia, Picea abies and some Fagus sylvatica; humid air and ground, partly sunny, exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 525 m (1.720 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: growing in bark crevices of a live, standing, grown up Ostrya carpinifolia covered by liverworts (Frullania sp. or eventually Radula sp.), mosses and lichens. - Comments: According to Breitenbach (1995) (Ref.:1) only three 'winter' species of very large genus Mycena (over 200 species worldwide (Ref.:2) and 64 described in Slovenia (Ref.:3)) have round or almost round spores. Descriptions of Mycena alba in literature nicely fit to this observation. The species is considered rare almost everywhere (Ref.:2). There are only a few observations in Slovenia registered in the Boletus Informaticus data base so far. However the mushroom is probably much more frequent as data show. There is no doubt that it is overlooked frequently, since it is small. As far as I was able to check Ostrya carpinifolia has not been recorded yet as a host. - Growing solitary in a group of more than 30 pilei all around a single tree trunk from 0.5 m to 1.8 m above ground level; pilei diameter 4 - 9 mm, stipe 5 - 8 mm long, diameter about 0.5 mm; taste poorly tested since the fungi are so small, apparently indistinctive; smell indistinctive; flesh quite firm considering miniature size of fruit bodies; SP faint, probably white. - Spores smooth. Dimensions: 7 [7.7 ; 8] 8.8 x 5.7 [6.5 ; 6.8] 7.6 microns; Q = 1.1 [1.2] 1.3; N = 32; C = 95%; Me = 7.9 x 6.7 microns; Qe = 1.2.

Slo.: prevleena eladica - syn.: Mycena viscosa Maire, Mycena citrinella (Pers.: Fr.) Kummer - Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees; among mosses, flat terrain, calcareous ground, moist place, in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 960 m (3.150 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil, small, rotten branches, leaf and needles litter. Comments: There are hundreds of species and lower level taxa of genus Mycena described in the literature. The species of this genus are all but simple for determination. Taxonomy is not yet settled and is constantly changing. However, Mycena epipterygia is relatively easy to spot and recognized. It is a common fungus and its characteristic elastic and removable hut cutis and lightly yellowish (with green tint in this case) and like half translucent appearing stipe are reasonably reliable traits for an amateur determination. A good test is also as follows: after one breaks its hollow stipe into two parts, both parts remain connected with a rubbery, elastic cuticle. Nevertheless this species is highly variable in color, size, spore width and other characteristics. In this observation the mushrooms were growing scattered solitary and in small groups of a few fruit bodies, altogether 12-15 pilei on a few m2 of forest ground; pilei diameter 8 - 12 mm, stipe 5 - 8 cm long and 1 - 1.8 mm in diameter, stipe hollow and covered with a thin elastic cuticle like pilei; taste and smell unpleasant, weakly on soap?; SP too weak to enable reliable color determination, possibly whitish. Spores smooth. Dimensions: 8 [8.8 ; 9.3] 10.1 x 5.3 [6 ; 6.5] 7.2 microns; Q = 1.3 [1.4 ; 1.5] 1.6; N = 20; C = 95%; Me = 9 x 6.2 microns; Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water.

Slo.: opasta eladica - syn.: Mycena alcalina (Fr., Fr.) Kummer, Mycena alcalina sensu auct. p.p. - Habitat: mixed wood, Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies dominant, calcareous, alluvial ground, almost flat terrain, probably locally acid ground (Vaccinium myrtillus abundant), in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-5 deg C, elevation 1.000 m (3.280 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: stump, roots and small twigs of Picea abies in the last stage of disintegration. Comments: Mycena stipata is relatively recently defined (1987). Two varieties (some authors consider them species) are known, which differ only microscopically: Mycena stipata var. stipata and Mycena stipata var. silvae-nigrae. The last one is typically a spring taxon, but its spores are according to Krieglsteiner (2001) significantly larger that what I measured (10-15/7-10 microns). Mycena stipata var. stipata grows mainly in autumn but also appears in spring. Spores fit well to this taxon. Growing in groups, a few together and also single; about 20 fruit bodies all together in an area of about 0.6 x 0.3 m; pilei diameter 16 - 26 mm, height 10-16 mm; stipe 2.5 - 3.5 mm diameter and 3 - 5 cm tall, hollow, fragile, smooth, with white mycelium at the base; taste rather strong, unpleasant; smell mild, mushroomy, on chemicals, a kind of nitrous; SP abundant, whitish-beige, oac900; pilei cuticle peels off in long narrow bands up to one half or more of pilei diameter. No microscopic study of hyphae and basidia has been done; hence the determination is not certain. Spores smooth. Dimensions: 8,5 [9,6 ; 10] 11 x 4,9 [5,7 ; 6] 6,8 microns; Q = 1,5 [1,7] 1,9; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 9,8 x 5,8 microns; Qe = 1,7.
