Rhizomarasmius epidryas (syn. Marasmius epidryas or Mycetinis epidryas) is one of a group of mushrooms formerly in the genus Marasmius. It grows amongst dwarf shrubs of the genus Dryas in arctic or high mountain environments.[2][3][1]
The species can be described as follows:[2][3][4]
This mushroom is found exclusively in cushions of Dryas plants such as D. octopetala (mountain avens) and D. integrifolia (entire-leaved avens), growing saprobically on dead leaves and stems. It only occurs in arctic or high mountain environments.[2][3]
It is reported from arctic regions of Europe and North America, the Rocky and Altai mountains, and various mountain ranges in Europe.[2][3]
