The author discusses Hygrocybe sciophana based on new collections by Dr. F. Kotlaba from the “Máslovická rokle” valley near Kralupy nad Vltavou. The species belongs to the group of waxcaps defined by Bataille as Psittacini, later redefined by Kühner & Romagnesi and Herink. It is characterized by a slimy cap and stipe surface and an ixotrichoderm cap structure. Microscopic features and taxonomic positioning are also discussed.
