It has a Gondwanan distribution pattern, being found in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia[1] and Chile.

[4] The caps of Mycena interrupta range from 0.8 to 2 cm, and are a brilliant cyan blue colour.

They are globose when emergent and then develop a broad convex shape as they mature, with the centre of the cap slightly depressed.

It is white and smooth, and the base of the stipe is attached to the wood substrate by a flat white disk, similar to Roridomyces austrororidus which, unlike M. interrupta, is attached to the wood substrate by a mass of clumped fine hairs.

[5] The pixie's parasol appears in small colonies on rotting, moist wood in rainforests, and in beech or eucalypt forests.
