Mycena strobilinoides, commonly known as the scarlet fairy helmet, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae. It is found in North America, where it fruits scattered or in dense groups on needle beds and moss.^[4] The mushroom is more common in western than eastern North America, and is also present in Europe.^[5] It prefers to grow at elevations greater than 2,500 feet (760 m) in montane locales. It has amyloid, ellipsoid spores measuring 7–9 by 4–5 μm.^[3]

The fruit bodies are bright orange, most intensely on the edge of the gills. The stem is covered with long orange hairs.^[5]
