Justification
Atheniella aurantiidisca is an abundant and widespread mushroom in western North America. The population appears stable, with no decline having been recorded. It is listed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
This species was originally described as Prunulus aurantiidiscus (Murrill 1916a); Murrill soon after placed it in the more broadly accepted genus Mycena (1916b). Based on micro-morphology phylogenetic research, Redhead (2012) described the genus Atheniella to accommodate this and closely related Mycenoid taxa.Geographic range
This species is known from Santa Cruz County, California, USA, north into south-central Alaska in coastal forests, and the northern Sierra Nevada in California, north through the Cascade Range into British Columbia, Canada, with scattered locations east into the northern Rocky Mountains.Population and Trends
The population is very widespread, and this species is very common in the wet conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest, and occasional elsewhere in the range. It occurs in young to mature forests, and appears to recover quickly from disturbance.
Population Trend: stable
