Mycena Chlorophos
Mycena chlorophos is a species of mushroom belonging to the Mycenaceae family. It is commonly found in decaying wood and leaf litter in forests, particularly in temperate regions. This small, delicate mushroom is known for its distinctive greenish-yellow color and bioluminescent properties, which allow it to emit a faint glow in the dark.
The fruiting body of Mycena chlorophos typically features a conical to bell-shaped cap, measuring about 1 to 3 centimeters in diameter. Its gills are closely spaced and free from the stem, while the stem itself is slender and can reach up to 10 centimeters in height. This mushroom plays a role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and contributing to nutrient cycling.
