Mycena cone occurs from March to May in the absence of snow, rather rarely. It grows on fir cones, fully submerged or protruding above the surface.
The pine cone was first described in 1873 by the Hungarian mycologist Karoy Kalhbrenner in the prefabricated species of agaric mushrooms. In 1938, it was rediscovered by J. Favre and R. Küner in the Mycenae family as Mycena strobilicola , under this name it is best known in the literature. It was not until 2003 that Pierre-Arthur Moreau discovered that the species was previously described by Calchbrenner, and published the modern name Mycena plumipes .
