About Mycena subcaerulea Sacc.
Mycena subcaerulea Sacc. is a species of mushroom-forming fungus that belongs to the family Mycenaceae. This fungus produces small fruitbodies with thin flesh. These fruitbodies have pale bluish-green caps growing on slender stipes, and the center of each cap is darker in color than its margin. The cuticle of the cap can be peeled off. The species was first described in 1873 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck under the name Agaricus subcaeruleus. Peck made his original collections of this fungus growing on the trunks of decaying beech trees, located in the woodlands of the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York. Pier Andrea Saccardo moved the species to the genus Mycena in 1887.
