Inosperma erubescens

Species of fungus

Inosperma erubescens, and also commonly known as the deadly fibrecap, brick-red tear mushroom or red-staining Inocybe, is a poisonous basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the original genus Inocybe and one of the few known to have caused death. It is found growing in small groups on leaf litter in association with beech. All mushroom guidebooks as well as mushroom hunters advise that the entire Inocybaceae should be avoided for consumption. The fruit bodies appear in spring and summer; the bell-shaped caps are generally pale pinkish in colour with red stains, which can also be seen on the stipe and gills.
