Mycena interrupta 1
Mycena interrupta, "Pixie's Parasol" is probably the only blue agaric found here, but also occurs in NZ, New Caledonia and Chile. Wood-rotting, on rotten logs in groups in wet forests. Caps to 15 mm, opening to broadly convex; steely blue when young, then fading to very pale blue with a darker blue centre, often depressed; viscid, transclucent, striate. Gills white with bluish edge; spore print white. Stem white, slender, to a white basal disc. Occurs when young as tiny bright blue buttons with an intense blue centre. Mt Drummer Rainforest Walk, Cann River, 2009.
