Mycopan is one of several genera of agaric fungi (mushrooms) that were formerly classified in the genus Hydropus or Mycena.[2] Mycopan is currently monotypic, containing the single species Mycopan scabripes. It produces dusky colored fruit bodies that are mycenoid, but lack amyloid or dextrinoid tissues except for the amyloid basidiospores.[3] Its stipe is notably scruffy from cystidioid end cells and unlike true Hydropus it does not bleed clear fluid.[2] Phylogenetically, Mycopan is distant from the Mycenaceae and the type of that family, Mycena, and it is not with the type of Hydropus, Hydropus fuliginarius. Mycopan grouped closest to Baeospora.[4] Baeospora was shown to be in the Cyphellaceae by Matheny and colleagues.[5] Mycopan scabripes grows from debris in forest floors in North America and Europe.

Etymology

The name Mycopan alludes to a fungal (myco-) version of Pan and his furry legs and woodland home.[3]
