Chromocyphella muscicola is a species of fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are cyphelloid, cup-shaped, about 4 mm across, with an upper surface covered with fine hairs and a smooth underside. [2]
It was first described as Cyphella muscicola by Elias Fries in 1822, [3] [4] and was transferred to the newly erected genus, Chromocyphella , in 1959 by Marinus Anton Donk. [3] [5]
