The correct combination for the species Mycena rosea was established as Mycena rosea (Bull.) ex Sacc. et Dalla Costa (1917). During a voluntary test by a woman who consumed 28 fruiting bodies of this species, moderate muscarinic poisoning symptoms appeared. The differences between Mycena rosea and Mycena pura (Pers. ex Fr.) Kumm. are therefore not only morphological and ecological, but also pharmacodynamic. Mycena pura contains psychotropic indole substances.
