A new species of Mycena from northwestern Spain is described, illustrated and morphologically and molecularly compared to related species. The new species belongs to M. sect. Viscipelles, presenting as tiny in stature, with small spores, claviform to subglobose cheilocystidia with short excrescences, and a small disc at the base of the stipe, which is made up of long cystidia. Currently, it has been only found at three localities of Atlantic forest, where it grows on dead leaves of Alnus lusitanica, Acer pseudoplatanus, Salix atrocinerea, and Quercus robur acorn cupules.
