The mushroom cap grows no more than 2 cm in diameter, 1 cm in height. In growing specimens, the cap is presented in the form of an expanding cone, then becomes convex, parabolic. The surface is smooth, without roughness, there are radial grooves.

Is it possible to eat yellow-lined mycenae
Edibility is unknown, scientists have found hallucinogens of the indole group and muscarine-like alkaloids in mushrooms. Most mushrooms from the genus Mycenae are poisonous. They provoke auditory and visual hallucinations: stationary objects begin to move, colors become brighter, the perception of reality changes, which affects speech and sensitivity to sounds. Muscarine, which is part of the yellow-lined, can cause severe poisoning.
