Red-eyed Parasol
Leucoagaricus rubrotinctus
Leucoagaricus rubrotinctus, commonly known as the red-eyed parasol or Ruby Dapperling, is a widespread species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
It is medium-sized and has a convex to more broadly expanded cap that is some shade of reddish brown to pinkish brown; the margin soon splits and exposes the whitish flesh so that it has radiating lines of reddish- to pinkish brown color. The gills are white and do not stain or discolor. The stipe is whitish, club-shaped or enlarged at the base, and typically has a thin, fragile, movable ring that is white with pinkish tints on the underside. The gills are soft, white, fragile, spaced very closely, not bruising, and free from the stem.
