Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus that grows on wood in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It is currently the smallest known mushroom in the world, with caps about 1 mm tall and a white color with a pale blue tone. It has 2-spored basidia, smooth round-headed cheilocystidia, and thin-walled pileiocystidia and caulocystidia. In 2024, Yang et al. reassigned the species to the genus Pruinomycena based on molecular phylogenetic evidence from ITS sequence analysis of the holotype.
