The genus Mycena has been studied
by many mycologists during the years, e.g. the
Danish mycologist J. E. Lange, the French mycologist
R. Kühner, A. H. Smith in the USA, and the Dutch
mycologist R. A. Maas Geesteranus. The most
recent account is the work by Giovanni Robich
from Italy.
The work by Dr. Maas Geesteranus
inspired and motivated professionals as well
as amateurs to study Mycenas, and the recent
years quite a few new species have been described,
many of which have never been illustrated. On
this site some of these species are shown for
the first time. |
