Mycena flocculentipes is reduced to the synonymy of M. hiemalis. Mycena metata is maintained as the correct name for M. vitrea var. tenella sensu Ricken, and M. phyllogena becomes a synonym. Mycena corticola is rejected as an ambiguous name, while M. meliigena seems a plausible choice as the correct name for M. corticola sensu Kühner.
