Mycena mariae, also known as the brown-blood helmet, is a species of fungus in the Mycenaceae family, of the order Agaricales. It is found only in New Zealand, where it can be found amongst leaf litter in podocarp-dicotyledonous forrest. The species was first described by New Zealand mycologist Greta Stevenson in 1964 and is named after New Zealand author and mycologist Marie Taylor. The species was synonymised with Mycena morris-jonesii by Egon Horak in 1971 before being reinstated by Barbara Segedin in 1991.
