Mycena strobilinoides, commonly known as the flame mycena,[1] or 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. The mushroom is more common in western than eastern North America, and is also present in Europe.[2] It prefers to grow at elevations greater than in montane locales. It has amyloid, ellipsoid spores measuring 7–9 by 4–5 μm.
The fruit bodies are bright orange, most intensely on the edge of the gills. The stem is covered with long orange hairs.
