It's that time again... Another volume of Theatrum Fungorium is going to the printers! #sciart #mycena #mushroom #coloring_book
An undescribed bioluminescent Mycena from Mycena sect. Sacchariferae, closely related to Mycena asterina found a few days ago in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Like Mycena asterina, only the cap glows.
Mycena sp. 'amicta-HRL01' - A species in the Mycena amicta group with only two observations on iNaturalist, both in the east bay area, California, USA. This species has blue colors on the lower stem, an amazing stem texture due to abundant caulocystidia and a separable gelatinous pellicle.
Collected November 23, 2020 on the UC Berkeley campus and sequenced recently by @mycota.lab.

A tiny Favolaschia found yesterday in Monteverde, Costa Rica. These are basically in Mycena and will probably be moved into Mycena soon - the alternative is to split Mycena up into a whole bunch of similar looking genera.

Is the #bioluminescence in many #Mycena species overlooked? ― A case study from M. crocata in Switzerland https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/mycosci/65/4/65_MYC633/_article by Renate Heinzelmann et al.
"the decaying wood M. crocata grows on can also emit a green glow when split open, lasting up to 4 hours... While some glowing #mushrooms might attract #insects to disperse spores, the bioluminescence of hidden #mycelium does not fit this hypothesis"

@wonderofscience Edibility alert! 🚫🍄 It's advised not to eat these, as many mushrooms in the genus Mycena are poisonous. Mycena interrupta is too small to be suitable for any meal, and despite its appearance, the only "superpower" it might grant you is a one-way ticket to death. Stay safe! #MushroomSafety #Mycena #PoisonousMushrooms #NatureAwareness
Genomic Innovation in the #Arctic: How Mycena #Fungi Adapt and Thrive
https://scitechdaily.com/genomic-innovation-in-the-arctic-how-mycena-mushrooms-adapt-and-thrive/ paper: https://www.cell.com/cell-genomics/fulltext/S2666-979X(24)00170-8
"While the #mushrooms had been thought to be purely saprotrophic – degrading dead organic material – the discovery suggests that they may instead have genes to enable them to adapt to different lifestyles as circumstances change. Interestingly, they show certain #Mycena strains living in the Arctic have some of the largest mushroom #genomes ever described."
