Mycena amicta, commonly known as the coldfoot bonnet,[1][2] is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae.[3] It was first described in 1821 by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries.
Description[]
Fresh specimens appear unmistakably blue; this fades to brownish hues in age.[4]
The cap, initially conical to convex in shape, flattens out with age and typically reaches diameters of up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in).[citation needed] The cap cuticle can be peeled. The gills are close and the stipe is covered in powdery hairs.[4]
The mushrooms appear in small groups, on the trunks of broadleaved trees, and particularly in the Pacific Northwest, around rotted conifer wood.[4]
