Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus,[1] which has its habitat in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It has been spotted eight times. Mycena subcyanophala is one of the smallest mushrooms in the world. It's buttons are about 1 mm tall. Mycena subcyanocephala also gathers a lot of humidity.

Mycena subcyanocephala is from the family Mycenaceae. The closest species to Mycena subcyanocephala is Mycena interrupta.

The word Mycena is connected to the Greek word mykēs (μύκης, "mushroom"). Thus, Pausanias ascribes the name to the legendary founder Perseus, who was said to have named it either after the cap (mykēs) of the sheath of his sword, or after a mushroom he had plucked on the site.
