Mycena viscidocruenta
Mycena viscidocruenta is a small mycena with caps of around 1cm, brilliant red, hemispherical then becoming sometimes depressed.
The flesh and stem are the same colour as the cap, but the gills are sometimes a little paler. There is no ring or volva, and the cap can be quite viscid especially in wet weather. The stem is slender and hollow.
It grows on small sticks and leaves, especially in moist gullies. It's a common fungus around Sydney and in temperate rainforest areas of NSW. The spore print is white.
The spores are elongated smooth ovals, with one end a bit pointy.
