Summary[
edit] Description: Mycena rosella (Fr.) P. Kumm. Image location: McClellan Meadows Sno-Park, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Skamania Co., Washington, USA Found by Joe Cohen. Growing in mixed conifer forest, on a mound covered with a thin layer of duff, an area about 1 m^2. It was raining and we didn’t get any in situ photos. (And then the only one I took when we got home is out of focus!) Gill in at least some of the mushrooms were definitely reddish (pinkish-red?) marginate. Sadly, I didn’t note the odor. Basidia 4-spored ~22+4 x 8. Spores 6-7 × 3.5-4. Cheilocystidia not forming a band, 45-68 × 11-15. No pleurocystidia. Hyphae of the pileipellis covered densely with long (up to 50 microns) excrescences, 1-2 microns wide. Hyphae of the cortical layer of the stipe diverticulate, with terminal cells (see photo), but also with wildly branching excrescences (near stipe apex) 1.5-2.5 microns wide. The spores are unusually small for the section
Rubromarginatae. No name I can find in the literature seems to deserve even a “could be” match. [7 Nov 2016] Brian Perry suggests this is
M. rosella. And indeed, what I saw as cheilocystidia were the abundant pleurocystidia. Only now I’m seeing the real cheilocystidia; they are smaller and there is less of them visible, even though they do make a contiguous band on the gill edge. Used references: Thanks to Brian Perry for the id.
