Ciri dan struktur
The cap is 1 – 3 cm in diameter, and initially a fat conical shape with the margin pressed close to the stem. As the cap expands, it becomes broadly conic to convex, sometimes broadly bell-shaped, and sometimes convex with a flaring margin. The cap surface has a whitish sheen because of its pruinose coating. The coating gradually sloughs off, leaving the surface smooth and moist. The cap shows radial grooves that outline the position of the gills underneath. Its color is initially dusky brownish-gray to blackish (after the pruinose coating has sloughed off), soon fading from dark to light gray and finally ashy-gray. The flesh is thin and fragile, grayish, and has a slightly sour (acidulous) taste, and a weakly alkaline odor that strengthens in intensity if the flesh is crushed. Its edibility is unknown, 1–2 mm thick, equal in width throughout, hollow, and very fragile. It is usually bluish-black initially (darker than the cap) but gradually turns sordid brownish-gray, and finally fades to pallid or cinereous. The surface is densely white-pruinose overall, but soon polished and translucent when the pruinose coating wears off. The stem base is nearly smooth to rather densely white-strigose. The species has a distinctive bleach-like odor. The spore print is white. The spores are broadly ellipsoid, amyloid (meaning they will adsorb iodine when stained with Melzer's reagent), and measure 7–10 by 4–6 μm. The basidia (the spore-bearing cells) are usually four-spored, although two- and three-spored forms have been found on which the spores measure 11–14 by 6–6.5 μm or 8–10 by 3.5–4.5 μm, respectively.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Mycena leptocephala adalah spesies saprobik, yang berarti ia memperoleh nutrisi dari pemecahan materi organik. Fruit bodies are found growing scattered to gregarious on fallen sticks and on needle carpets under conifers, and are rather common during early summer and again in the autumn. Fruit bodies dapat terinfeksi oleh jamur bonnet Spinellus fusiger. Di Amerika Utara, jamur ini ditemukan di Kanada (British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island), Washington and selatan hingga California and North Carolina. Di Amerika Selatan, jamur telah dikumpulkan di Venezuela. It also grows in the Archipelago of the Recherche, off the southern coast of Western Australia. Di Eropa, itu dikenal dari Inggris, Finlandia, Belanda, Norwegia, dan Spanyol. Ia juga telah ditemukan di berbagai lokasi di Asia: Vindhya Range of India; Gwangneung Forest Museum in Arboretum Nasional Korea; dan zona alpine Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, Provinsi Jilin, China. Jamur ini juga dikenal dari Arctic and Alpine regions seperti Islandia, Greenland, dan Murmansk region.
