Mycena roseoflava is a tiny #mushroom found in New Zealand. It’s really small, with caps that are only 5-10 millimeters wide. These caps start off pink and turn yellowish as they get older.
They have a smooth to slightly fuzzy texture, making them look quite delicate. This mushroom likes to grow in damp places, especially in wetter forests and rainforests, where it can be found on rotting wood and twigs.
One of the coolest things about Mycena is that it can glow in the dark.
