Mycopan is one of several genera of agaric fungi (mushrooms) that were formerly classified in the genus Hydropus or Mycena . [2] Mycopan is currently monotypic, containing the single species Mycopan scabripes.

Taxonomy

Phylogenetically, Mycopan is distant from the Mycenaceae and the type of that family, Mycena , and it is not with the type of Hydropus ,H. fuliginarius. Mycopan grouped closest to Baeospora . [3] Baeospora was shown to be in the Cyphellaceae by Matheny and colleagues. [4]

Etymology

The name Mycopan alludes to a fungal (myco-) version of the classical Greek deity Pan and his furry legs and woodland home. [5]

Description

It produces dusky colored fruit bodies that are mycenoid, but lack amyloid or dextrinoid tissues except for the amyloid basidiospores. [5] The cap is up to 3 centimetres (1+1⁄4 in) wide. [6] Its stipe is notably scruffy from cystidioid end cells and unlike true Hydropus it does not bleed clear fluid. [2]

Its edibility is unknown and it is of little substance regardless. [6]

Habitat and distribution

Mycopan scabripes grows from debris in forest floors in North America [6] and Europe.
