Mycena
Pink Radish Mycena ( Mycena rosea)
The Mycena ( Mycena ) is a fungal genus with small fruiting bodies of the family of Mycena relatives. The genus contains over 100 species in Europe alone. Most are small to tiny, zarthäutige mushrooms. You live as saprophytes on the ground or on dead wood. Some Mycena have beautifully colored hats, others fall on by their colored fins cutting, because the person sitting on them Zystiden pigments. There are also Mycena that secrete a white or colored latex in injury types and show the bioluminescence.

Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The appearance of the fruiting body is helmet- lings or nablingsartig and in rare cases also Rübling like. Mycena -like is, the fruiting bodies are small and delicate and have a bell-shaped to conical hat and a long, slender stalk. The hat is ribbed dünnfleischig and in most species. The hat surface is bare, fuzzy, puberulous, grained or frosted. Sometimes the hat is also covered with a gelatinous, removable pellicle. The slats are usually ascending, horizontal or curved and lolly almost free or narrow grown to slightly decurrent. The spore powder is whitish. The stalk may be fragile, cartilaginous or elastic- hard. The stem surface is partially or completely frosted, puberulous or glabrous. Sometimes the stem base is extended to a disc or she is hairy gross striegelig. From the fruiting bodies of some species occurs in violation of a milky juice whose presence and color are an important determining feature.
Microscopic characteristics
The basidia are two - or viersporig. The spores are usually apple seeds or teardrop-shaped, rarely almost cylindrical or spherical in shape and mostly amyloid. Few Mycena species have inamyloide spores. They are smooth and have no germ pore.
A microscopically important feature is the shape of the cheilocystidia which are almost always present, unlike the pleurocystidia. You can clavate, inverted pear-shaped, spindle- be - or bottle-shaped or rarely cylindrical. They are smooth, easy fusiform or branched, or they wear differently shaped, simple or branched outgrowths, so that they can " branched antler -like" " igelig - bürstig " or look like. The pleurocystidia can be numerous or rare or entirely absent.
The hyphae of the hat skin ( Pileipellis ) are usually branched and rarely smooth. The hyphae of the stem bark layer are smooth or be sacked and sometimes have specially shaped end cells or Caulozystiden. The lamellae stained with Melzer 's reagent ( iodine solution ) to brownish purple, only in a few cases it is not stained.
Species
The genus is very rich in species, a total of well over 300 species known. In Germany, about 100 species are common.
