The "Aku-nioi-take" (Mycena stipata) belongs to the family Tricholomataceae. It is a fungus that is widely distributed throughout Japan, North America, and Europe. It grows in bunches or clumps on coniferous trees from spring to fall. The cap is conical to bell-shaped and vary in color from dark brown to beige. The Japanese name comes from the mushroom's lye-like odor. It is also described as having a chemical smell like nitric acid. The photo shows one growing on a stump of "Maries fir". In Taiwanese Chinese, it is called "褐小��", and "密小��" (mi xiao gu) in Chinese.
In Korean, it's called "ak-chwi-ae-ju-reum-beo-seot" (악취애주름버섯). This is a compound ward consisting of "bad odor" (ak-chwi: 악취) and "Mycena genus" (ae-ju-reum-beo-seot: 애주름버섯).
