Macroscopic features

The hat has a diameter of 6 mm to 2 cm and has a bright, turquoise color. When young, initially spherical, when grown it has a broad, arched shape with a slightly indented center. The surface is often sticky and slimy, especially in damp weather. The flesh is very thin and bluish in color. The stem is 1–2 cm long and 1–2 mm thick. It is white, smooth and like the pedestal helmling ( Mycena stylobates ) at the base connected to the wooden substrate by a flat, white, blue at the edge, 1-3 mm diameter disc. The lamellas attached to the stem are white and have blue edges.

Unlike some other helmets, Mycena interrupta is not bioluminescent .

Microscopic features

The spores are transparent, smooth, elliptical, have a size of 7-10 × 4-6 micrometers and form a white print .

ecology

Eucalyptus forest in Australia

Mycena interrupta occurs in small colonies on rotten, damp wood in the rainforest as well as in beech and eucalyptus forests. It often grows sideways from rotting tree trunks, so its stem is usually curved.

distribution

The species has a distribution pattern that corresponds to the primary continent Gondwana and occurs in Australia , New Zealand , New Caledonia and Chile . In Australia, it occurs in Victoria , Tasmania , New South Wales , South Australia and Queensland , where its distribution is limited to Lamington National Park .
