Taxonomy

The species was originally named Mycena praeclara by Egon Horak in 1978.[3]

Description

The cap is up to 8 mm (0.3 in) wide, hemispherical or convex when young becoming umbilicate or applanate with age. Its color is deep orange to reddish-orange, fading with age. The cap center is granular, dry, with indistinct grooves extending towards the margin. The gills have an arcuate to decurrent attachment to the stipe. They are white with a smooth edge that is the same color as the rest of the gill. The white, cylindrical stipe is up to 30 mm (1.2 in) and about 1 mm thick. It has pale orange coloration towards base, and is slimy when wet. Fruit bodies grow singly, not in dense groups or clusters. The mushroom has no distinctive odor or taste. The flesh of the cap is pale orange.[3]

Habitat and distribution

The fruit bodies of R. praeclarus grow on rotting leaves and twigs in rain forests of Papua New Guinea.[3]

gollark: I suppose that does matter for imports, yes.
gollark: So the real issue isn't *currency*, just an awful economy.
gollark: But it's like saying "the price in pence is 100 times the price in £", to some extent.
gollark: I mean, it's 6 times the price *in numbers*, but the purchasing power (is that the right term?) of each currency matters.
