Mycena strobilinoides, commonly known as the flame mycena,[4] or scarlet fairy helmet, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae.
The cap is up to 2 centimetres (3⁄4 in) wide, conical to bell-shaped, and smooth.[4] It is initially red, then bright orange and paler shades.[4] The stem is up to 6 cm (2 1⁄4 in) long and has long orange hairs, mostly at the base.[4][5] The spores are amyloid, ellipsoid, and measure 7–9 by 4–5 μm.[3] The spore print is white.[4]
There are some similar species in the genus but they mostly differ in color.[4]
It is found in North America, where it fruits scattered or in dense groups on needle beds and moss.[6] It is more common in western than eastern North America and is also found in Europe.[5] It prefers to grow at elevations greater than 760 metres (2,500 ft) in montane locales.
