A taxonomic study including 66 species of Mycena (one species withtwo varieties), with most species from south-eastern Australia. The history of classification of the genus, the history of the genus in Australia and previous Australian records are discussed, as are the characters, used in distinguishing species, and the system used to determine conservation status of taxa. Twenty species, one variety and three section are proposed as new. The majority of species of Mycena included in this work proved to be distinct from those known from other landmasses derived from Gondwana, and those from the northern hemisphere.
