Mycena mariae, also known as the brown-blood helmet[1], is a species of fungus in the Mycenaceae family, of the order Agaricales. It is found only in New Zealand, where it can be found amongst leaf litter in podocarp-dicotyledonous forrest[2]. The species was first described by New Zealand mycologist Greta Stevenson in 1964 and is named after New Zealand author and mycologist Marie Taylor[3]. The species was synonymised with Mycena morris-jonesii by Egon Horak in 1971 [4] before being reinstated by Barbara Segedin in 1991[2].
