Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A user-friendly guide to Mycena that is fun to use. Serious mycologists identify fungi using a microscope. If you want to learn the techniques, Mycena is a good genus to start with as it combines good microscopic characters with a reasonable number of common species. This guide, although now very dated, is still an ideal introduction to a microscope-based Mycena identification. |
