Mycena epipterygia is a species of fungus in the family Mycenaceae of mushrooms commonly found in Europe.[1] It is commonly known as yellowleg bonnet[2] or yellow-stemmed mycena.[3] The species is saprotrophic and its appearance is quite variable. For example, a number of members of the genus Mycena, some parts of the fungus are bioluminescent, including in this species, the mycelium.[4] Mycena nivicola has been suggested as a separate species name for the Western variety.[5]
