Mycena is a large genus of small saprotrophic mushrooms that are rarely more than a few centimeters in width. They are characterized by a white spore print, a small conical or bell-shaped cap, and a thin fragile stem. Most are gray or brown, but a few species have brighter colors. Most have a translucent and striate cap, which rarely has an incurved margin. The gills are attached and usually havecystidia. Some species, like Mycena haematopus, exude a latex when the stem is broken, and many have the odor of bleach. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
