Mycena olida, commonly known as the rancid bonnet,[1] is a species of mushroom in the Mycenaceae family. It was first described in 1887 by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola.[2]
The cap, initially conical to convex in shape, flattens out with age and typically reaches diameters of up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in).[3]
